Centuries ago, Williamson Valley Road began as a game trail for native inhabitants. In the 1400s, ancestors of the Yavapai and Hualapai hunted along ancient footpaths. Later explorers widened these paths for horses. The 1800s brought military wagons transporting supplies between the Rawlins, Hualapai/Tollgate, and Fort Whipple camps while traders and settlers followed in stagecoaches. The fertile lands of Mint Valley, Williamson Valley, and Walnut Creek were ideal for raising stock and produce. Farmers sailed from Europe and up the Colorado River before traversing the Hardyville Toll Road. Ranchers imported the fittest stock and exported the finest meat with the expertise of Mexican ranch hands. Camp Wood timbermen met the demand for lumber. Eastern store owners set up shop as railroaders laid far-reaching plans but short-reaching rails. Residents in the early 1900s arrived at rodeos, camp meetings, concerts, and dances in their Model Ts using this road. Present-day suburbanites, schoolchildren, and contractors commute on Williamson Valley Road, which was designated as a Scenic and Historic Route in 2010.

Wealthy rural Arizona stockbroker Steven DeMarco stands accused of bludgeoning his ex-wife to death with a golf club on the eve of his first $6,000 alimony payment. But theres no DNA evidence, no murder weapon, and he has an alibi. Or, does he? As the determined sheriff's investigators dig into the murder of Carol Washington, a popular local therapist, counselor and artist, they find multiple girlfriends and boyfriends, one home and two condominiums, motorcycles with GPS maps of Mexico, and three BMWs, all being used by DeMarco, his two daughters and the murdered ex-wife. Based on a true crime story, covered by CBS, NBC and ABC News departments we quickly see some of the surprising pieces of evidence found by investigators such as books on how to commit crimes and not get caught, and a backpack hidden on a golf course with a passport and cash inside.
