The Master Plan of a Family Man | The Murder of Trish Willoughby

In February 1991, a relaxing family vacation to Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point), Mexico, transformed into a horrific nightmare. Trish Willoughby, a highly successful business owner from Phoenix, Arizona, was found brutally attacked inside a rental condominium at Las Conchas Beach. Her husband, Daniel Willoughby, painted the picture of an open-and-shut tragedy, claiming a random local robbery had occurred while he was visiting a nearby museum with their three young children. But back across the border, the ultimate family-man facade was already beginning to crack. Investigators quickly uncovered a twisted web of intense greed, an unraveling multi-million-dollar empire, and Dan's secret affair with his mistress, Ysenia Patino Gonzalez. What followed was an incredibly rare cross-border investigation that pushed the boundaries of international law. When Arizona investigators finally stepped into the crime scene, forensic evidence completely dismantled Dan’s alibi.
