"Grieving" 49-Year-Old Husband Has No Idea Police Don't Believe His Bathtub Story

He says she slipped in the bathtub. The scene told investigators something else. David Michael Tronnes | Orlando, Orange County, Florida | Verdict: Guilty of first-degree murder as charged (2023) On April 24th, 2018, David Tronnes called 911 and said he had found his wife in the tub, not breathing. That night he sat down with two Orlando detectives voluntarily, with no lawyer. He walked them through the water, the drain and the moment he lifted her. Across town, crime scene investigators were photographing the apartment. The main house had no walls, and a television renovation show was weeks from filming. A week earlier, his wife had walked out of a meeting about that house. He spent 14 hours at police headquarters and went home in daylight. Four months later, a detective opened a suitcase at his mother's home. Five years later, the people who walked into that apartment told a jury what they saw. The jury asked one question before it reached a verdict. #TrueCrime #PoliceInterrogation #MurderCase Chapters: 00:00 The bathtub story 01:12 The last ordinary night 04:28 The 911 call 09:55 Detectives question David 13:39 A house with no walls 19:52 Inconsistent accounts 27:13 Evidence vs. narrative 31:00 The arrest 32:09 The trial and the verdict 36:59 Justice for Shanti Sources and records: David Tronnes vs State of Florida (6D2023-4012) (Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal (via Justia)): https://law.justia.com/cases/florida/...
