Stephen Hricko was a 35 year old golf course superintendent, loving father, and desperately trying to save his marriage to his wife of 9 years, Kimberly. He planned a surprise Valentine’s getaway for them in 1998, which ended in a fire in their waterfront resort room and Stephen dead. Kim’s friends immediately got involved and helped solve this case that sounds like it’s straight out of a murder mystery. Join us in the closet this week for the terribly tragic death of Stephen Hricko.
