He Thought No One Would Ever Discover His Biggest Secret | True Crime Documentary

Heidi Firkus called 911 at 6:32 a.m. on April 25, 2010, to report that someone was breaking into her St. Paul, Minnesota home, and seconds later a gunshot ended the call. Her husband, Nicholas Firkus, told police an intruder had shot them both. But a hidden foreclosure, an eviction scheduled for the next day, and an 11-year cold case investigation led prosecutors to argue the break-in never happened. In this true crime documentary, we walk through the 911 call, the financial secrets, the physical evidence, the 2023 trial and life sentence, and the 2026 split Minnesota Supreme Court decision that upheld the conviction.
