In December 1928, a mysterious woman in a blue chinchilla coat walked into a quiet Northeast Ohio home, shot a man eight times, and then vanished into the night. Vernard Fearn's dying words were, "I don't know that woman. I've never seen her in my life." But investigators would soon discover that the victim's squeaky-clean reputation was hiding some very dark secrets. In this episode, 19 News reporter Jen Picciano peels back the layers of a century-old murder mystery that's equal parts scandal, heartbreak, and betrayal.
