Predator or Prey Carey, Robin and Craig Heidt

Robin and Carey Heidt

In season 1, episode 9, "Predator or Prey" is the story of Carey and Robin Heidt and what happens when Robin has an affair with Carey's older brother, Craig Heidt in the state of Georgia. Craig killed his brother Carey, his father, Phillip Heidt and attempted to kill his mother who survived.

Phillip Heidt

ID describes it as it gives a whole new meaning to sibling rivalries when two brothers turn enemies and guns are drawn. Later, an Iowa truck driver takes in his hunting buddy when he falls on hard times. These brotherly
bonds are about to get deadly.  

Early on the morning of August 25, someone entered the home in Springfield, using a spare key that typically was hidden in a storage room under the carport. The intruder went into the room in which Carey was sleeping and shot him with a 12–gauge shotgun. The intruder then went into the bedroom that Philip shared with Heidt's mother, Linda, and shot both Philip and Linda. The intruder poured gasoline throughout the home and broke out a window, apparently in an attempt to make it appear as though someone had entered the home forcibly. The intruder, however, failed to remove the spare key from the door lock.

Carey and Philip succumbed to their injuries, but Linda was able to call for emergency assistance and ultimately survived. Although Linda was unable to identify the intruder, a police officer observed that her demeanor “was somewhat different” when Heidt came into her hospital room on the day of the murders. According to that officer, Linda “didn't seem to interact” with Heidt, and her pulse rose when he entered the room. The officer also testified that Heidt twice inquired as to how long police officers would remain at the hospital with his mother.

None of this would have happened if Robin had been a loyal wife. She remains defiant to this day about her actions.
