March 6th, 2011.
It wasn’t a night to be out. A raw and rainy Sunday in Teaneck, New Jersey.
A house on Elm Avenue lit up the night as the back of the house caught on fire.
Firefighters arrived at the scene.
Once inside the home, a blackened trail led them to the basement into what looked like a bedroom.
Inside, they found a badly burned body: 59-year-old Rob Cantor, the owner of the house.
But, as it turns out, it wasn’t the fire that killed Rob.
It was a bullet to the back of the head.
His killer was caught. Put on trial. Convicted.
Case closed. Story over, right?
Not even close...
