Part I: Tragically, 8-week-old Matthew Dean Wise perished in a house fire, which occurred when both parents were home.

Digging into the horrific death, Diane and Detective Leslie VanBuskirk uncover truths that render them speechless in the face of cold-blooded premeditation and manipulation leading to the death of a baby boy.
