Web Of Deceit
When PEI native Melissa Friedrich was arrested in Florida and charged with exploitation of the elderly in January 2005, her past revealed a long and complex criminal history that began in the Maritimes and included a conviction for manslaughter in the death of one husband. Another husband died under what his family believes are suspicious circumstances, and what finally landed her in a Tampa jail was enough evidence to convince authorities that yet another man might be at risk. Linden MacIntyre investigates the story of the woman who has been called a "black widow."
Searching for the truth behind the lies told by some of Canada's most memorable and imaginative con artists.
