In the late afternoon of Christmas day in 2016, Tricia McCauley a 46-year-old actress who worked in a series of short films and body double for leading ladies in Hollywood left her home in Washington D.C. to head to a friend’s Christmas dinner. As Tricia was getting in her car to head out, she would cross paths with 29-year-old Adrian Duane Johnson, a man who had a history of mental illness and criminal behavior. In the late-night hours of December 26, 2016, Tricia’s lifeless body would be found in the backseat of her car with Johnson in possession of her car keys. When police questioned Johnson, he told them Tricia had committed suicide in the backseat of her car. So, was this a case of suicide or murdered committed by a sinister mind?
