Show notes
Tina Heins was 15 weeks pregnant when she was slaughtered in her home, while her husband was on duty. Tina’s brother-in-law, Chad Heins, was home during the murder and was awakened when the fire alarm blared - leading him to discover various small fires in the home. He rushed to get Tina, only to discover she had been murdered. Without much evidence, Chad was charged, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for Tina’s murder (in addition to sexual assault). In 2007, Chad was officially exonerated.
But Tina’s murder remained unsolved, until an arrest was made in September 2025!
It was an arrest that shocked everyone. That man is now pending trial in the state of Florida. His name is Michael Ziegler.
Dig in with Margot as she tells you this cold case (almost) solved. Remember - all persons are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. .
