When Todd Stermer built his dream home in rural Michigan, it was meant to be the perfect place for his family — a beautiful, sprawling house that he designed and built himself from the ground up. But one winter afternoon in 2007, that dream home went up in flames… and so did any illusions of a happy marriage between Todd and his wife, Linda.
When firefighters arrived, it was too late to save Todd. What followed was a complex investigation lasting over two years, and a fight for justice that went on even longer. Join us for a fascinating story of a suspicious fire, a family tragedy and a justice system still struggling to close the book on this fatal fire.
