In this episode of Crime Estate, we travel to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to unravel one of the South’s most fascinating and controversial true crime stories—the mysterious death of Zachary Smith Reynolds, heir to the R.J. Reynolds tobacco fortune.

At the center of it all is Reynolda House, a sprawling 64-room historic mansion built as part of a 1,067-acre estate and once considered one of the grandest private homes in America. What was meant to be a symbol of wealth, innovation, and Southern prestige instead became the backdrop for scandal, obsession, and an unsolved death.
