At 10pm, CBS broadcasts the new “48 Hours: Murder by Clown“.
Melissa Turner, a resident of Hillsborough County, Florida, placed a 911 call on October 18, 2019, reporting the discovery of her fiancé, Matthew Trussler, lying unresponsive near their swimming pool. Trussler was pronounced dead at the scene, and a subsequent autopsy determined that he had died from stab wounds. At first, Turner informed detectives that the couple had been drinking on the prior night, but she could recall very few details. However, a security camera above a neighbor’s garage door provided crucial evidence that prompted Turner to alter her account of the events. According to prosecutors, an audio recording from the camera captured Turner screaming at Trussler. She claimed to have stabbed him in self-defense when he allegedly attempted to strangle her. Turner was subsequently arrested and charged with second-degree murder with a weapon.
