The Death of Michelle Nye-Rider

Lloyd Nye-Rider was in Rochester, New York on the day that his ex-wife died. Just days before her death, Michelle showed up in court to fight Lloyd's petition for sole custody. He didn't withdraw or ask for an adjournment; he just didn't show. It turned out Lloyd wasn't in California when Michelle died, and he wasn't in New Jersey where he lived at the time. Police checked his phone and found that it hadn't left the hotel that Saturday night after he checked in. This made Carrie the more obvious suspect. But investigators still weren't ready to rule Lloyd out.
