Melissa Lamesch was a 27-year-old mother to be. She was scheduled to be induced for childbirth in just two days. But it was in these final days of her pregnancy that she was murdered, and found dead in her burning house. Investigation into her death revealed that the house didn't just catch fire, and Melissa didn't even die as a result of the fire–she was killed and the fire was set after. Police soon discovered the man at the center of the heartless crimes, Melissa's ex partner and fellow EMT, Matthew Plote.
