48 Hours Mystery Season 27 Episode 16 Brett Parker

Brett Parker was a successful businessman living in South Carolina. He had a beautiful wife and two children, and seemed to have everything going for him. However, on April 13th, 2012, everything changed when his wife, Tammy, and his close friend, Bryan Capnerhurst, were found dead in their home.

The police quickly determined that Brett was the prime suspect in the murders. He had discovered extensive debts and financial fraud committed by both Tammy and Bryan and allegedly killed them both in a desperate attempt to cover up the crimes.

The investigation into Brett's alleged crimes would become a convoluted series of events and testimony from friends, family, and coworkers. Brett maintained his innocence throughout the investigation and trial, insisting that an intruder was responsible for the murders.

The episode follows the investigation and trial, including the use of forensic evidence to piece together the events of that fateful day. We see interviews with family members and friends, as well as law enforcement officials, as they attempt to unravel what led to the murders.

The investigation into Brett's finances adds an extra layer of complexity to the case, with allegations that Tammy and Bryan were involved in a Ponzi scheme that contributed to Brett's financial troubles. The prosecution argues that Brett's desperation to keep his financial secrets from getting out led him to commit murder.

As the trial unfolds, we see the strategies of both the prosecution and defense as they argue their cases before the judge and jury.
