48 Hours Mystery The Mortgage and the Murder / Sign of the Times

Episode Description

For nearly a year Renee Ohlemacher was suspected in the murder of her parents, Bernadette and Greg, who were shot in their Albuquerque, N.M., home in August 2005. The authorities were convinced that the killer was someone close to the couple and upon investigation, they learned that Renee did not immediately call 911. Even her family had their doubts about her innocence as she was set to inherit nearly $1 million from a life insurance policy. But with no physical evidence linking Renee to the crime, the probe began to stall, until a chance encounter would expose the unlikeliest of suspects - the couple's mortgage broker, Ron Santiago. Santiago, a self-proclaimed people pleaser, was facing mounting pressure to close loans and eventually turned himself in to the Secret Service, admitting that he forged two checks when he could not deliver on a loan. But as the Secret Service dug into Santiago's past, their investigation revealed something more serious.
