Her murdered his wife to end his marriage, protect his fortune, and hide his secrets . . .
When high school sweethearts Karen and Richard Sharpe married, they shared an interest in medicine, a desire for family, and a dream for the future. For Karen, that dream became a nightmare.
After years of abuse at the hands of her physician husband, she tried to end their 27-year marriage. Fearing a crushing divorce settlement, Richard ended the marriage first by unloading a .22 calibre rifle into Karen's chest.
The murder revealed more about the millionaire doctor - and his double life - than polite Boston society was prepared for.
Behind the doors of their upscale home, Dr Sharpe was a cross-dresser with a penchant for his daughter's underwear. But not even his own family could have imagined that it would take cold-blooded murder to reveal his disturbing secrets - and to shatter forever the prosaic façade of this all-American family.
