On August 29, 1995, Mark Winger called 911. He told them he had just shot a man who had been attacking his wife. When the Springfield, IL, police arrived, they discovered that Mark's wife Donnah, and a man named Roger Harrington had both been killed. The case was closed within 48 hours, and the police determined that Mark killed Roger in self-defense. However, years later, secrets would come to light and the case would be re-opened. What really happened that day?
