Barbara Stager was known as a devoted mother, loving wife, and dedicated church leader in her Durham, North Carolina, community. When she "accidentally" shot her husband, popular high school coach, Russ, the police were inclined to believe her-until they learned that ten years earlier, her first husband had died in a strangely similar way.
Sgt. Rick Buchanan's relentless investigation into Stager's life revealed a stunning vortex of compulsive lying, obsessive spending, and sexual promiscuity. With every new discovery, more of Barbara's impeccable image unraveled. But the greatest shock-a damning piece of evidence Russ Stager left behind-revealed the nightmare truth about Barbara.
