“Mystery on the Rooftop” tells the story of Rey Rivera, who mysteriously fell to his death from the roof of the Belvedere Hotel in Baltimore — at least, that’s the leading theory. At the time of his death in May of 2006, Rey had been married to his wife Allison for only six months. She was away on a business trip and when she tried to call Rey, he didn’t answer. 

Allison rushed home to Baltimore to start the search for Rey. Six days later, his body was found in an unused conference room of the Belvedere hotel, directly beneath a hole that led to the roof. Investigators initially thought he had committed suicide by jumping through the hole, but homicide detective Mike Baier doesn’t think that theory holds water. Could Rey have actually been murdered?
