In October, Tronnes was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

Channel 9 anchor Martha Sugalski spoke with ABC’s Deborah Roberts about why “20/20″ decided to look closer into the case.

“This one took a lot of twists and turns,” Roberts said. “In fact, one of the investigators said ‘this seems to be worthy of a ‘20/20′ episode.”

Roberts said things just did not seem to add up to Orlando Police Department detectives.

“I mean immediately they thought there were things in this story that just seemed a little bit different,” she said. And of course, the quest to get to the bottom of it.”
