Thou Shalt Not Kill | Full Episode
Husband's Plot to Murder Wife Leads to Decades of Legal Battles
Explore the complex investigation where an alibi centered on church attendance failed, leading to a chilling murder, multiple confessions, and years of agonizing appeals for the victim's children.
Short Summary
- Bob Fraa, facing a messy divorce and custody fight, orchestrated the murder of his wife, Farra.
- The shooting occurred while Bob claimed to be at church with their three children, establishing an initial, seemingly solid alibi.
- Key evidence included recorded solicitations at the gym and crucial testimony from an accomplice's girlfriend, Mary Gip, who later received immunity.
- Despite an initial death sentence, the conviction was overturned due to inadmissible testimony, forcing the family into a second harrowing trial 13 years later.
- The children navigated severe trauma, from witnessing the aftermath to confronting their father years later before he received a second guilty verdict.
This case centers on the murder of Farra Fraa on November 9, 1994, by hitmen hired by her estranged husband, Bob Fraa. The narrative tracks the initial forensic work, the subsequent appeals that nearly freed the convicted killer, and the lasting psychological impact on the three surviving children.

What a piece of work that Mary Gibb is. She should have been arrested and charged. What a monster.
Mary Gipp is EVIL! She could have spared those poor children all of that pain and their mother’s life. She is beyond despicable. RIP Farah…🙏❤️🙏
The fact not one of the gym friends called the police is crazy
The grandparents are solid gold, God bless this family
15-17 men at the gym thought he was joking….. noted
Mary took down the seriel number of the gun for possible blackmail in future.
the daughter asking her granpa to open her mother's "box" is heartbreaking!!!
Knowing I definitively could have saved a person, let alone a mother of 3, from being killed but I didn't would have destroyed me. Mary is another breed.
I hope Mary Gipp reads these comments and knows how loathed she is — but then again a sociopath doesn’t really care, do they?
