In a gripping and disturbing investigation, 54-year-old Margie Bradley finds herself at the center of a police interrogation following the brutal murder of her ex-boyfriend, 62-year-old Willis Sanders. Known for their tumultuous relationship, fueled by alcohol and drugs, the couple's frequent violent altercations had neighbors on edge. When Sanders' landlord discovered his body in his apartment, hidden beneath a bloodied pillowcase with a brick inside, suspicions quickly turned to Bradley.

During her questioning, Margie initially denies any recent contact with Willis, contradicting the statements of neighbors who had seen her at his apartment just days before his death. As the interrogation unfolds, Margie begins to crack under the pressure, shifting from staunch denials to admitting partial truths. She eventually confesses to striking Willis with a brick in self-defense, claiming she was trying to escape his violent grip. However, her narrative falls apart when detectives confront her with evidence of an attempted clean-up and the precise placement of the brick under the bed, leading them to believe the murder was more deliberate than she let on.

As the interrogation progresses, Margie’s shifting story raises more questions than answers. Did she truly act in self-defense, or was this a calculated act of violence? The detectives' relentless pursuit of the truth paints a chilling picture of a woman driven to desperate measures, ultimately leaving the case open for further scrutiny as she awaits trial. The investigation highlights the complex dynamics of domestic abuse, addiction, and the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator.

Margie eventually was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for manslaughter.
