Episode 81, Season 5 - Nanette Johnston and Eric Naposki – The Murder of a Millionaire

Multimillionaire Bill McLaughlin is living the dream in the wealthy enclave of Newport Beach, California. He’s got multiple homes, luxury cars, and even flies his own private plane.

And right by Bill’s side is his sexy, decades-younger fiancé, Nanette Johnston, who promises Bill that if he takes of her, she’ll take care of him.

What Bill doesn’t count on is that when Nanette says she’ll take care of him, what she actually means is murder.
