She Tried To Blame A Cigar: The Fatal Flaw In Her Poison Cover-Up | The New Detectives

Season 8, Episode 2: Investigators tackle two seemingly accidental deaths that were, in fact, cold-blooded murders. First, in Maryland, Steven Rico dies in a fire staged by his wife, surgical technician Kim Rico, who used the paralyzing drug Succinylcholine to kill him and collect on life insurance. Next, in Florida, Medical Examiner Dr. William Cyers tries to cover up the death of his wife, Kay Cyers, which he caused with a lethal injection of Potassium. Years later, advancements in Forensic Toxicology, including QTOF analysis and the Potassium-to-Iron Ratio test, provide the irrefutable scientific evidence needed to bring both murderers to justice.
