Father Realizes His Son Was Actually The Killer (Video Inside)

He Heard the Shower Running For Days. It Wasn't Water—It Was His Deadly Secret.

For the residents of Waynesville, Ohio, it was a tragedy. For Brent Williams, it was supposed to be a payday. When his estranged wife, Erin Mah, was found dead in her shower, her history of seizures and alcoholism provided the perfect cover story. But he made one mistake: he couldn't hide his greed.

The marriage was a powder keg of domestic abuse and personal demons, well-documented in police reports. When Erin was discovered on July 7th, her death seemed like the sad, inevitable conclusion to a troubled life.

But investigators couldn't shake a few key facts. Why didn't Brent check on his wife when he visited her apartment and heard the shower running? Why was he so hesitant to give police his phone?

The truth came from the coroner: Erin Mah hadn't fallen. She had been strangled.

Suddenly, the case was a homicide—the town’s first in six decades. And the prime suspect’s motive was as old as time itself: money. Just five weeks before murdering her, Brent had taken out a $25,000 life insurance policy on Erin.

While he should have been grieving, Brent was on dating sites. His new girlfriend, Tiffany, would become the star witness, telling police how he casually discussed his wife’s death and the insurance money he was about to receive.

Faced with a mountain of circumstantial evidence, a damning motive, and his own callous behavior, Brent Williams was arrested, tried, and found guilty. For a mere $25,000, he had murdered his wife and attempted to conceal it as a tragic accident. His sentence: 15 years to life behind bars.
