In this Part Deux installment the suspect/husband's second wife Rachel comes forward with a story to tell the police! But does it finally lead to justice for Heidi Firkus?

It’s a summer of firsts! For the first time ever, Kimberly and Katie revisit their very first Patreon episode from 2017, hoping to finally decide the answer to the ultimate Dateline question, did the husband do it? We couldn’t figure it out 7 years ago, but we now have hundreds of Dateline recaps under our belts. Have our instincts been finely honed?
