more careful the thrill was still there but now it was tinged with fear yet despite the danger neither of them could bring themselves to end the affair they were addicted to the rush to the way they made each other feel and so they continued their meetings more secretive their actions more Reckless on February 20th 2010 their luck began to run out Mrs Jenkins the elderly woman who lived across the street had always been known as the neighborhood Busy Body nothing happened on that block without her knowing and she had begun to notice the strange comings

and goings at the Matthews House that afternoon she saw Jamal sneaking into Angie's home his eyes darting around as if he were afraid of being seen Mrs jenin suspicious by Nature watched from her window her curiosity peaked later that evening as she chatted with another neighbor she casually mentioned what she had seen gossip spread quickly in their tight-knit community and it wasn't long before the rumors reached Patrice Thompson Jamal's mother Patrice a deeply religious woman with high hopes for her son was alarmed by by The Whispers she confronted Jamal that night demanding to know what

was going on Jamal caught off guard denied everything he insisted that Mrs Jenkins must have been mistaken that there was nothing going on between him and Angie but the seed of Doubt had already been planted in patrice's mind she didn't believe her son was telling the whole truth but she had no proof just the word of an old woman known for her gossip despite his denial Jamal couldn't shake the fear that his secret was no longer safe the walls were closing in and the affair that had once been a thrilling Escape now felt like a

ticking Time Bomb ready to explode at any moment but neither Jamal nor Angie could have predicted just how devastating that explosion would be on the evening of March 5th 2010 the air in the Matthews home was Heavy with tension Angela Matthews had been wrestling with guilt for weeks the weight of her affair with Jamal Thompson becoming too much to bear she had decided that it was time to end things with Jamal knowing that continuing the relationship could only lead to more trouble but as she prepared to break the news to him she had no idea

how explosive the situation would become around 7 p.m. Angie invited Jamal over under the pretense of a usual meeting but this time instead of the passionate embrace he expected Jamal was met with a somber Angela she told him that their Affair had to end that it was becoming too risky and that they both needed to move on Jamal who had grown increasingly attached to Angie felt his world crashing down around him he couldn't believe what he was hearing after everything they had been through she was just going to throw it all away Jamal's initial shock

quickly turned to anger he accused Angie of using him of playing with his emotions Angie trying to stay calm explained that it wasn't like that but Jamal wasn't listening his desperation began to show his voice Rising as he pleaded with her not to end things but Angie remained firm telling him that it was over and he needed to leave the argument escalated rapidly Jamal feeling cornered and rejected became more aggressive he grabbed Angie's arm pulling her close as he continued to plead but she pulled away demanding that he leave immediately in a fit of rage

Jamal shoved her away from him Angie caught off balance stumbled backward toward the staircase the next few seconds happened in slow motion Jamal reached out to grab her but it was too late Angie lost her footing and fell backward down the stairs her body tumbling violently before landing in a crumpled Heap at the bottom the house fell eerily Sil silent Jamal stood Frozen at the top of the stairs his heart pounding in his chest as he stared down at Angie's lifeless body Panic set in as he realized what had just happened he rushed down the

stairs calling her name but there was no response Angie was gone her neck Twisted at an unnatural angle her eyes staring blankly ahead the fall had been fatal and there was nothing he could do to bring her back terrified Jamal fled the scene leaving Angie's body where it lay he ran back to his own house his mind racing with fear and regret he knew he had to get out of there but he had no idea where to go or what to do all he knew was that he had killed the woman he claimed to love

and now his life was in ruins the next morning on March the 6th 2010 Marcus Matthews returned home from another business trip he entered the house expecting to find Angie waiting for him as usual but instead he was met with an unsettling silence he called out her name but there was no answer as he moved through the house a sense of dread began to build inside him something wasn't right it wasn't until until he reached the bottom of the stairs that he saw her Angie's body lay motionless on the floor her limbs splayed out in

a way that immediately told Marcus something was terribly wrong his breath caught in his throat as he rushed to her side frantically checking for a pulse but she was cold to the touch Panic set in as he dialed 9911 his hands trembling as as he tried to explain what he had found within minutes the police arrived along with paramedics who quickly confirmed what Marcus already knew Angie was dead the scene was chaotic as officers began to assess the situation but amid the commotion one person remained calm and focused detective Bryant he was a seasoned investigator

and as he examined the scene something about it didn't sit right with him Angie's position the angle of her fall the injuries she sustained it all seemed too deliberate too violent to be a simple accident on March 8th 2010 the investigation into Angie's death began in Earnest Marcus was the first to be questioned and he was devastated he recounted his last conversation with Angie describing her as happy and healthy he couldn't understand how this could have happened the police pressed him for details about their marriage but Marcus insisted that they had no major problems he

was a man who loved his wife and the idea that someone could have hurt her was too much for him to bear as the police canvased the neighborhood they spoke to several residents including Mrs Jenkins who had always been quick to share any information she had Mrs Jenkins told the officers about the frequent visits she had noticed between Jamal and Angie she had seen Jamal entering the Matthews House on multiple occasions often when Marcus was out of town to her it was clear that something was going on between them this information peaked detective Bryant's interest

he began to dig deeper into the relationship between Jamal and Angie suspecting that there was more to the story than met the eye the following day March 12th 2010 Jamal was brought in for questioning nervous and on edge he tried to maintain his composure but it was clear that the pressure was getting to him he denied any involvement in Angie's death claiming that he hadn't seen her in days but his story didn't add up and his Alibi was shaky at best detective Bryant observed Jamal closely during the interrogation his nervous demeanor the way he avoided

certain questions it all pointed to someone with something to hide the detective wasn't convinced by Jamal's denials and he suspected that there was more to the story as the investigation continued Patrice Thompson became increasingly worried she knew her son better than anyone and she could tell that something was weighing heavily on him she tried to get him to open up to tell her what was going on but Jamal remained tight lipped he was scared and he knew that the Noose was tightening around him on March 20th 2010 the Breakthrough came forensic evidence from the scene
