Andre Montgomery

And he had a deadly scheme up his sleeve.

He was trying to be that.

And he was paying for the best music school, the best instruments.

a beautiful penthouse apartment, a car, like he was setting up his nephew for success.

Behind the television version of that life, however, something much darker was taking shape.

At the center of the story was Norman's 21-year-old nephew, Andre Montgomery, and what followed became an extraordinary murder-for-hire investigation driven by greed, life insurance policies, and an increasingly complicated network of people recruited to help carry out the crime.

The investigation stretched across years, multiple states, and brought together the FBI, ATF, and local law enforcement.

Investigators worked through burner phones, cell phone towers, insurance documents, financial transactions, and communications among the people involved, gradually reconstructing the machinery behind Andre's murder.

It's one of those cases in which celebrity makes the crime feel almost unreal.

Millions of viewers had watched this family together on television, unaware that eventually one of its most recognizable faces would be convicted of orchestrating the murder of his own nephew.
