In the early months of 2006, Rey Rivera’s wife Alison said he seemed stressed and paranoid but he wouldn't elaborate on what was bothering him.

On two nights in May 2006, the alarm in the couple’s home went off in the early morning hours. Alison said Rey seemed terrified, even though police suggested a squirrel triggered the alarm.

Alison left on a business trip that month and a friend of hers, Claudia was staying at their home. Claudia said Rey got a phone call and she heard him yell ‘Oh shit!’ He ran out of the house and was never seen alive again.

When Alison couldn't get in touch with Rey, she cut her business trip short. Rey’s body was found in the conference room of the Belvedere Hotel on May 24, 2006.

The circumstances surrounding his death have been debated online for many years. Did Rey take his own life or was there something else going on?

A mysterious note was found taped to Rey’s computer after his death and we run through the contents of the note in this episode.
