The Event That Stunned New York City And The World... Was It An Accident... Or Was It Murder?
This is the story of a young woman who was found dead. Now the police investigate, and evidence points to a man she was seen leaving a party with. Now when questioned, he claims that her death was accidental, as a result of rough sex.
