The Suspicious Death of Sandy Bird
Sandy Bird, a dedicated and hardworking woman, was found dead in a car accident on Rocky Ford Bridge. Despite the official ruling of an accident, police officer John Rule and others had suspicions that something wasn't right. Sandy's husband, Tom Bird, had been having an affair with Lorna Anderson, whose marriage was also falling apart. Tom and Lorna devised a plan to kill their spouses and collect their life insurance. The plan involved making Sandy's death look like an accident and hiring someone to kill Martin Anderson. The suspicious circumstances, lack of skid marks, and unusual details surrounding Sandy's death raised red flags for Officer Rule and others. Meanwhile, Lorna and Tom attempted to execute their plan to kill Martin, but it ended in his murder. The authorities were beginning to suspect Tom's involvement, and the coincidences surrounding both deaths raised serious doubts.
