When you consider these stories are adapted from real case files the tragic nature of this story hits a lot harder. A young man is found holding a significantly older woman, he is brought in for interrogation and initially remains silent before claiming to have murdered the woman. By the end of the story its revealed this man is not at all well and has an uncomfortable unconventional relationship with the deceased. As his family is reveled it's shown there isn't ally of love between the suspect and his father, eventually the revelation comes the woman died of other complications related to heart disease brought on from alcoholism. While the suspect is acquitted his declining mental state displayed during his interrogation and probable being cut off by his father left the boy to take his own life. I'd rank this in the top 3 darkest Dragnet Cases of all time.
