In Episode 3 of A Gentle Thief, a fictional podcast inspired by true events, attorney Sophie Brownlie studies the case of the dead girl with her husband, an experienced crime reporter with The Las Vegas Sun. Together they learn that the client is named Ike Johnson. He is trying to get the Utah coroner to change the manner of death determination on the death certificate of his daughter from suicide to homicide. That's it. 

The problem is when his daughter was found, everyone treated her death like a suicide, except the coroner. There were brown markings on her hands that looked like powder burns.
