MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: Steven Altman & Mary Ann Hayes
In 1984, when Robin Altman was just 22 years old, her brother Steven was found hanging by his neck in an apparent suicide. 12 years later, tragedy struck this family again when Robin’s mother Mary Ann took her own life by self-strangulation. But Robin had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. There was one question she could not get out of her head: what if these deaths weren’t suicides at all? What if her brother Steven and her mother Mary Ann were murdered? Robin embarks on a journey to find the truth.
