Twenty-three-year-old Marine Todd Sommer was young, healthy, and just living life with his wife and their children in San Diego, California. So when he suddenly became violently ill and died in the early hours of the morning, the explanation seemed tragic but simple. A sudden cardiac event. A devastating loss for a young family. But months later, new testing would raise a chilling possibility: Poisoning. As investigators began looking closer at Todd’s final days, attention quickly turned to his wife, Cynthia. What followed was an investigation built on toxicology results, circumstantial evidence, and a controversial picture of grief, money, and motive. In this episode, I explore a case that went from certainty to doubt and back again… leaving one haunting question behind. What really happened to Todd Sommer?
