4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,239

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,320

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,279

00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,600

Speaker 1: and arms. When questioned about his injuries, doctor Thomas Winstel

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: attributed them to a playful interaction with the family dog,

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: which led to his initial release without an arrest. However,

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: three days later, police were called to his office due

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: to reports of suicidal threats. Following his arrival to the

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,920

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: confessed to murdering his wife by suffocating her with a pillow.

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: He claimed that only he and Linda were present at

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: the time and that he had reacted impulsively during a

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: heated argument. Subsequently, the doctor was taken into custody and

26
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,399

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,000

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: a very quiet neighborhood, said one neighbor. The only arguments

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: that we ever hear came from the doctor's home. And
