On August 24, 2011, Michelle Despain came home to find her husband, Marc, shot dead in the family's Arkansas home. As a real estate investor and appraiser, Marc provided his wife and kids with anything they could ever want - but while the family seemed to have more than enough money, there was trouble brewing under the surface of all that happiness...the family's idealized version of the American Dream all came to an end when Despain came home from a shift at the bank August 24, 2011 - and found her husband lying dead on the kitchen floor. Hysterical, Despain dialled 911 and attempted, incoherently, to explain to the operator that her husband had been shot, and she was fearing for her own life.
