Murder, She Told

2018 - Rome, Maine.

In August of 2018 in Rome, Maine, Shane Cheetham confronted his wife about poisoning his dog, and in the heat of an argument (according to her), put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Later that evening, Shane passed away at a hospital in Portland, Maine.

According to the people at the scene, this is an open and shut case of suicide. According to police reports, this case should be closed. But when you look at the details, and when you dig into the events of the evening, not everything adds up... and the family has questions.

This is the story of Shane Cheetham, told through his sister, mother, and daughter.

*This episode heavily discusses and describes topics of suicide. Please listen with care. If you're currently struggling, help is available. Please call the national suicide prevention hotline at 800-273-8255.*

In the days following his disappearance, 31-year-old Reeves quit his job, drained his bank account past the last dollar, tried to sell his car, and cleaned out his cabin, leaving behind some curious items.

But was it Reeves? His parents thought so... until they showed up at the post office, hoping to catch their son picking up his last paycheck and discovered a man—an unknown man—opening Reeves' mailbox and taking his mail... and his mother captured a mysterious photo that might just be the key to finding out what happened to her son.
