Cold Case Episode 7.15 Two Weddings

While at a wedding of one of their colleagues, Louie, our team discovers that Louie's soon to be wife, Anna, was engaged once before to Dan Palson. Dan called it off the night before the wedding and was found dead a few hours later. The fall from his hotel balcony was ruled a homicide but the doer was never identified. They branch out and start chatting up various family members, and what initially seems like a fun way to kill time at the wedding turns into a full blown murder investigation. All eyes point to Anna as the doer but further evidence reveals that Anna's promiscuous sister had eyes for Dan as well. Things get even more complicated when they discover that Dan was actually married to a woman in Baltimore. Records also indicate that Dan and his best man, Phil, had dreams of opening a fancy gym and marrying into Anna's wealthy family would help. The team learns that Dan's wife, Melanie, was in a hospital for the past eight years after suffering from an irreversible brain injury from a boating accident in Mexico. Dan just received a call from the hospital saying that Melanie called out his name. He breaks it off with Anna only to get another call from the hospital telling him that Melanie had just died. Unable to live with the guilt, Dan jumps from his hotel room balcony to his death.
