The Las Vegas Murder of Shauna Tiaffay
The episode provides an extensive narrative concerning the murder of Las Vegas cocktail waitress, Shauna Tiaffay, and the subsequent investigation and trial of her estranged husband, George Tiaffay. Initially focusing on Shauna's life and her deteriorating marriage due to financial strain and George's escalating jealousy, the episode details a prior staged break-in and the eventual brutal hammer attack that ended her life. The episode tracks the police investigation, which initially cleared George based on his alibi, but was later blown open by a tip that led them to Noel Stevens, a homeless man George had befriended and hired to commit the murder for $600 and a larger promise of insurance money. After Stevens confessed and implicated George, the former firefighter was arrested following a suicide attempt and subsequently convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
