First Comes Love, Then Comes Murder (Rebroadcast)
The brutal 2001 murder of Leslie Preer in her Chevy Chase, Maryland home remained unsolved for over two decades, until advances in forensic genetic genealogy led detectives to identify her daughter's former high school boyfriend, Eugene Gligor, as the killer — a shocking revelation that shattered the family's trust and brought long-delayed justice. The case, once clouded by suspicion around her husband and the eerie absence of forced entry, ultimately revealed how a familiar face could conceal a violent act, and how modern DNA technology can pierce through decades of silence.
