In the first episode of Cold Case Files: Dead West, we uncover the chilling case of Pamela Shelly, a mother of two found dead in her boyfriend’s trailer in rural Texas in 2001. Despite a suspicious crime scene, conflicting witness statements, and a history of domestic violence, authorities initially ruled her death a suicide. But her family never believed it — and they were right.
