A Crime, a Cover-Up, and a Cop: Michelle O'Connell

Small Town Mysteries

Michelle O'Connell was a young mother to a 4-year-old daughter and had just gotten her dream job. Which is why her loved ones are in disbelief when police say that Michelle has committed suicide.
What makes this questionable is the fact that Michelle's supposed suicide occurred the night she told her sister she was going to break up with her boyfriend, a police officer for the county.
Sketchy police work abounds in this one.
