On a Sunday morning in 2010, Nick and Heidi Firkus should have been getting ready to go to church. Instead, police received a series of distressed 911calls ― first from Heidi, then from Nick ― claiming that someone was breaking into their home. When they arrived on the scene, they discovered that Heidi had been shot dead, and Nick had a gunshot wound to the leg. As authorities began investigating, they discovered that not only was the couple in massive financial trouble, but they were also set to be evicted from their home the very next day. With no immediate leads, the case went cold, and Nick moved on to marry and have children with a woman named Rachel. Years pass with no updates to the case, and it seemed like life has gone back to normal for Nick … until Rachel found somethingin Nick’s sock drawer that changed everything she thought she knew about her husband on “20/20: Stranger In The House,” FRIDAY, MARCH 27 (9:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC and streaming on Disney+ and Hulu (Rebroadcast.
