Just a few days after Christmas, on December 29, 2012, a Nevada man named Brad Dodd was shot and killed at a Washoe Valley home. At the time, his wife Shaunna called 911 and reported that armed intruders had broken into the residence and forced her to open their personal safe to rob them before murdering Brad, leaving Shaunna and Brad's 16-year-old niece Alison—who was staying with them—running for safety. But, as it so often is with true crime cases, that isn't exactly how things went down that night.
Dark & Stormy Deeds—a new crime documentary debuting on Investigation Discovery tonight, August 24 at 10pm Eastern Time—will recount how that horrific night really played out and uncover what happened when investigators couldn't track down any footprints, DNA or other evidence at the scene and started finding holes in Shaunna's story. Detectives reportedly were able to find witnesses who indicated that Shaunna had been planning her husband's death for months, seeking out hired hands to perform the murder and even trying to poison Brad's Jack and Coke herself one night.
