In 2002, a house fire in Zeeland, Michigan leaves 14-year-old Robin Boes dead. Within hours, investigators suspect arson and attention turns to her mother, Karen Boes.
After a 10-hour interrogation and a failed polygraph, Karen confesses. But she repeatedly says she doesn’t remember starting the fire.
24 years later, in 2026, the question remains: Did Karen Boes kill her daughter — or was she broken into believing she did?
