Sarah Steward met Ryan Widmer on a blind date. They were fixed up by Sarah’s friend Dana. They hit it off right away and it wasn’t long before Ryan brought his new girlfriend home to meet his mom.

In early 2008, the couple bought a new house in a nice neighborhood. They were married that April. The newlyweds went to Costa Rica for their honeymoon. When they got back home to Cincinnati, they started to settle into their life as Mr. and Mrs. Widmer.
They had their whole lives ahead of them. And then the unthinkable happened.
Less than four months into the marriage, Sarah drowned in the master bath. Ryan said she’d fallen asleep but he was soon a suspect. But did Ryan have a motive to kill his new wife? Those close to the couple said no, but police and paramedics felt that something wasn’t right at the scene. Soon, Ryan found himself in the middle of a murder investigation.
