On Nov. 13, 2016, Dr. Eric "Scott" Sills, a renowned California fertility doctor, called 911 and reported finding his wife and business partner Susann Sills unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. An initial investigation revealed some evidence that was consistent with an accidental fall. But as "48 Hours" correspondent Tracy Smith reports, other evidence pointed to something more sinister. DETECTIVE: How do you know she — she got an email? MARY-KATHERINE SILLS: I woke up and my dad was just like on the covers just laying there like there wasn't enough room to get in I guess. So, he was just laying there.
MARY-KATHERINE SILLS: Because Eric said they were talking about that. DETECTIVE: On top of it?
On that Sunday morning, Orange County Sheriff's Homicide Detectives Eric Hatch and Dave Holloway had more questions than clues. DETECTIVE: Oh, OK. So Eric told you that she got an email and that she was, it was about something … MARY-KATHERINE SILLS: Yeah.
