Episode 33 Roger Atkison Roger Atkison was brutally murdered alongside his mistress, Rose Burkert, in an Iowa hotel room in 1980. Investigators examining the bloody crime scene determined that the pair was most likely killed with a hatchet. Police suspected that the murders were a crime of passion or jealousy committed by someone who knew the couple was having an affair. In an eerie twist, the couple was only able to get a room there after a last second cancellation as the hotel was booked to capacity because of a mortician's convention being held there. Despite her husband's infidelity, Roger's widow has searched for almost 40 years to figure out who killed him. She discusses that journey to get answers, and well as being a suspect herself before police ruled her out.
