A shocking case out of Upper Arlington, Ohio has left a community reeling. Retired Ohio State professor James S. Hill, 76, is accused of fatally stabbing his wife, Mary Hill, after falling victim to a sextortion scam that demanded $15,000 to keep his explicit photos private. Police say Hill believed he had no way out and attempted to kill both his wife and himself in a desperate bid to escape exposure. Jessie and Andie walk through the harrowing details, from the fatal attack to the 911 call, the attempted cover-up, Hill’s confession from his hospital bed, and the stunned reaction from the Ohio State community.
