In July 2017, 49-year-old Nanette Krentel was found inside her burning home in Lacombe, Louisiana. At first, it appeared to be a tragic house fire. But an autopsy revealed a shocking detail: Nanette had been shot in the head before the fire began and there was no soot in her lungs. She had been alive that morning, running errands and returning to her isolated 100-acre property. So who entered her home, killed her, and set the blaze? In this episode of Clues, Morgan and Kaelyn break down the evidence in the unsolved murder of Nanette Krentel, from gasoline found in the debris and a destroyed security DVR to marriage troubles, threatening letters, and lingering questions about how the investigation was handled.
