And You're To Blame: The Murder of Miriam Illes

The heart has been the subject of mythology for humanity for
centuries. Egyptians believed that in the afterlife, your heart was
weighed against a feather and if all your life’s sins didn’t
outweigh the feather, you could join Osiris in the afterlife. If it
was heavier, your heart was consumed by Amuut, a demon, and your
soul disappeared forever. Ancient Greeks believed that the heart
was the anchor of the soul and instinctively thought it was the
source of heat for the body. Cultures all over the world recognized
the importance of the heart, before even realizing how crucial it
was to survival. Today’s case is about matters of the heart, both
literally and figuratively. A heart surgeon’s wife is murdered in
her locked house, shot through her heart in the middle of their
nasty divorce and when the police find mounds of evidence, it all
seems to lead them nowhere.
