It was about 6.35 in the morning.

A quiet street in Richmond, Virginia.

As I was getting dressed, my husband and I heard three loud bangs.

Not a street where you'd expect a murder.

When I arrived on the scene, I could see at the top of the driveway my friend and neighbor

Fred Jablins.

He put both hands on my shoulders and he said, Megan, Fred Jablis is lying in his driveway.

He's dead.

And Fred Jablins wasn't your average murder victim.

You've got a university professor killed in a neighborhood that that's really not the norm.

Fred Jablin was a totally involved father, a super, super single parent.

So who killed Fred Jablins?

People said, I have no idea who would want to do this to Fred, but have you talked to his ex-wife?

I was married to Fred Jablins. We have three children.

I had a pretty nasty divorce.

Certainly she was a suspect.

But a suspect with a seemingly rock-solid alibi.

Bartender called to me and said, do you remember her?

And I said, yeah, I remember seeing her.
