The US Navy in the early to mid 90's was a treasure trove for true crime. 'Law & Order' took stabs at fictional retellings of the 'Tailhook' scandal and the fallout over female aviator Lt. Kelly Flinn involving cheating which undid her poster girl status. 'Forensic Files' of course sticks firmly to the non-fiction side of things, but tell me after the fact if you think two devious minds went looking for a payday based in large part due to that first controversy I mentioned.
This 22 minutes piece of 'Forensic Files' sports an intriguing element and Peter Thomas's fantastic voiceover as usual, but it becomes clear what the real story is quickly. 'Double Cross' reminds you why criminals can't beat science, solid investigations from law enforcement. Things don't add, the evidence doesn't support the story being told by the sole witness. I don't gain pleasure from the outcome for one person here, but I wonder if in their last moments of life they realized how far their co-offender was willing to take this scheme.
