Years before Ian Stewart murdered his fiancée, U.K. author Helen Bailey, and disposed of her body in the cesspit at their Hertfordshire home, the family of his first wife feared he might already be a killer. There was always something suspicious about the way 47-year-old Diane had died in the backyard at the couple's home in Bassingbourn, Cambridgeshire, in June 2010. With no witnesses around on that hot summer's day, Stewart was able to fool police into believing that Diane, who had previously suffered from mild epilepsy but had successfully controlled the condition for 18 years with medication, had suffered a fatal fit. While he was found guilty and convicted of Helen's murder, Ian Stewart almost got away with murdering his first wife. Find out how her donated brain to science helped convict a double murder.
