"Holy shit, you have the Mercedes" -- Growing up wealthy and healthy in Detroit -- "He came from an affluent family...a life of the party kind of guy" -- "This is a great guy, I personally vouch for him" -- "I am a true master, come to me" -- Bob and Rachel seek a "very special girl" -- "Without a doubt in my mind I know that he did not do it" -- "I made a mistake" -- Epicenter of Detroit wealth tarnished -- "I gotta get to Joe" -- "It is what it is" -- "I apologize to Mr. Gentz" -- Emails and conversations with Bashara: "this is a setup, clearly" -- "This is one of the most unusual cases I've ever had" -- Jane was the "golden goose" -- "You once said you were living the dream, now you're experiencing a nightmare".

"Bob Bashara: husband, father, Rotary Club president and community leader. Bob Bashara: slumlord, philanderer and BDSM enthusiast. Jane Bashara lived in Grosse Pointe Park, one of Metro Detroit’s wealthiest communities, when she was strangled to death in her own garage by local handyman Joe Gentz. When Joe turned himself in, he told the cops everything, including how he was hired for a hit by Jane’s husband. His payment: $2,000 and a used Cadillac. Born into one of Michigan's elite families, Bob was sweeping out the back alley of a property he owned when his wife was being killed. He made sure the bartenders at the Hard Luck Lounge saw him there at the time of her murder. He'd often brought girlfriends by the same bar, and for the last year had been seen with one Rachel Gillett -- riding around town in her convertible, even showing up at BDSM events in the suburbs of Detroit. When Joe Gentz confessed, his low IQ and barfly reputation made him less than credible. Bob successfully denied any part in his wife's murder. But he couldn't deny his attempt to have Joe killed in prison"--Provided by publisher.
