Ep 26. For Love Or Money

For Love Or Money is the twenty-sixth episode of the ninth season of the popular true crime series, Forensic Files. The episode follows the case of a wealthy Florida businessman named Sam Del Brocco, who was found dead in his home with a gunshot wound to the head.

Initially, police suspected that Del Brocco's death was a suicide, as there was no sign of forced entry into the house and he was known to have financial problems. However, a closer examination of the crime scene and forensic evidence pointed to a different conclusion.

The investigation revealed that Del Brocco had been living a double life, secretly dating a woman named Sheri Dyanne Coleman, who was a former exotic dancer and escort. She was also married to a man named Bobby Joe Coleman, who had a history of violent behavior.

Forensic evidence showed that the bullet that killed Del Brocco had come from a gun owned by Bobby Joe Coleman. Further investigation of phone records and financial transactions revealed that Sheri had convinced Del Brocco to loan her large sums of money, which she then used to support her lavish lifestyle and pay off her husband's debts.

As the evidence against them mounted, Sheri and Bobby Joe Coleman were both arrested and charged with the murder of Sam Del Brocco. In court, the prosecution presented a strong case, including forensic evidence and testimony from experts who had analyzed the crime scene and the victim's injuries.

Despite their attempts to paint the victim as a desperate man driven to suicide by financial troubles, the evidence showed that the Colemans had deliberately targeted Del Brocco for his money, and had killed him to cover up their crimes.

In the end, Sheri Coleman was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, while Bobby Joe Coleman received a sentence of 25 years to life.

For Love Or Money is a gripping episode of Forensic Files that highlights the skills and expertise of forensic investigators and the vital role that forensic evidence plays in solving crimes. Through a careful analysis of the evidence at the crime scene and a meticulous examination of financial records and phone records, investigators were able to unravel a complex web of deceit and hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
