A 23-year-old nurse found beaten and drowned in her bathtub in Silver City, New Mexico remained unsolved for 18 months while investigators fumbled the case. When her family took investigative matters into their own hands, they uncovered evidence pointing to her estranged ex-husband, a former police officer, sparking whispers of a cover-up. Cassie Farrington's murder investigation stalled for over a year due to detective errors including failure to collect physical evidence, release of the crime scene prematurely, and lack of proper interviews with suspects.
