Episode Description:

Joseph Shymanski was a photographer known for capturing beauty through his lens — fine art, celebrity portraits, and important events. But behind the camera, his own life had fallen out of focus. After surviving a contentious divorce and fierce custody battle, his life was taken on a quiet afternoon by someone he never saw coming. He was shot, dismembered, and burned. This is the story of the photographer who met a brutal end… and whose murder leaves us with more questions than answers.
