How a WhatsApp Message Solved a 2-Year-Old Murder

Alex, a successful businessman and a very down-to-earth man, is married to Sarah. Alex is an ideal husband, making Sarah very happy. They lived a very comfortable life with their two children. Sarah took care of the family, while Alex worked to provide for them. They were living a happy and contented life.

But one day, tragedy struck. Alex had a major accident involving a car, which nearly killed him. Miraculously, he survived. The driver who hit him fled the scene but was later arrested and sent to jail. While Alex was recovering, the driver was released on bail and began pressuring Alex to drop the charges. Alex refused.

One day, the driver, Mike, came to Alex's house and started shooting at him. Sarah and other family members rushed to save Alex, but it was too late—Mike had already shot him. As Mike tried to flee the scene, the neighbors apprehended him and handed him over to the police. It seemed like an open-and-shut case, and Mike was sentenced to jail for his crime.

The family was in deep agony and struggled to recover from the loss. Sarah decided to leave the house filled with memories of her husband and moved to a new place.

Two years passed, and life began to normalize for the family, as time is often the best healer. One day, a police officer known for his honesty, Officer John, received a WhatsApp message from a different country, urging him to reopen Alex's case, claiming it wasn't fully solved. After some contemplation and analysis, Officer John decided to reopen the case, sensing something was amiss.

While investigating crime cases, it is important to keep an eye on some important angles of the criminal, such as personal, social, and financial aspects. Often, these three angles are interconnected. The new investigation started with this approach. The police began scrutinizing Mike's financial transactions, including bank details and call records, which revealed some significant information.

In the bank transaction records and call logs, one name kept appearing—Mark. A suspicious pattern of exchanges between Mike and Mark was found. Around the time of Alex's accident and subsequent murder, there was a lot of communication between Mike and Mark. When the police delved deeper into Mark's background, they discovered that he was a gym trainer and owned a supplement shop.

The investigation revealed that Sarah had joined Mark's gym and had fallen for him. They used to talk for hours, with Sarah later deleting the records to hide their affair. One day, Alex discovered the affair and confronted Sarah. For the sake of their children, he decided to give her another chance. However, Sarah and Mark had other plans.

Their plan was to hire Mike to murder Alex and make it look like an accident. Mike was supposed to turn himself in to the police, knowing that Unintentional accidents typically result in lighter sentences. In return, Mike would receive a substantial amount of money, and Sarah and Mark would take care of his family until he was released from jail.

Armed with this new evidence, the police were able to arrest Sarah, Mark, and Mike. The WhatsApp message that initially reignited the investigation was the key to uncovering the truth. It was later revealed that the message had been sent by Alex's brother, who had been suspicious from the beginning but lacked evidence. Through his sources, he confirmed that it was indeed a murder orchestrated by Sarah.

The court proceedings that followed were swift and decisive, with Sarah, Mark, and Mike being sentenced to life imprisonment.

This tragic story serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of trust and the devastating consequences of deception within the closest circles. It underscores the resilience of those who refuse to let truth be buried, no matter how deeply hidden. For Alex's family, justice prevailed, albeit at a profound and irreparable cost.
