Twin brothers murder one of their soon-to-be ex-wives

Pictured here is The rope that was bound around Heather DeWild's body Heather DeWild, 30, thought she'd be safe going to her soon-to-be ex-husband' Daniel DeWild's house, in Edgewater, Colorado if she took along her two children - Jacob and Hannah. She planned to just stop by to pick up insurance cards for the kids and sign a check. But just hours later she was missing and her family were desperately searching for her. She had vanished. Her body was found a month later buried until a pile of dirt on the side of a highway. The body was so decomposed investigators had no idea how she died - but they knew she had been murdered because her body was bound with rope and duct tape. They soon focused their case on Dan DeWild and his twin brother David - but without any forensic evidence they couldn't prove which one of them had murdered Heather. Nine years passed and Heather's family had almost given up hope - until a new district attorney took over the case and got a grand jury indictment on both brothers - and in a stunning developed twin David turned on his brother and revealed how Dan had murdered his wife. David admitted he helped dispose of the body and got 12 years in prison - but a jury deadlocked at Dan's trial. Then as prosecutors got ready to charge him again Dan agreed to a plea to second degree murder and was sentenced to 74 years in prison.
