What happened to Stacy Feldman?

On March 1, 2015, Stacy Feldman was found unresponsive in her bathtub in her southeast Denver home. Robert Feldman had placed a 911 call at around 3 pm local time. He allegedly returned home from a church carnival he had attended with his children to find his wife in the bathtub with the cold water running, as per The Denver Post.

The first responders who arrived at the scene found Robert to be uncooperative and he specifically wished against an autopsy report, according to PEOPLE. While Stacy was pronounced dead at the scene, the medical examiner mentioned that she had sustained injuries on her body possibly from CPR.

The cause and manner of Stacy's death were declared as undetermined by the examiner. Robert told the investigators that Stacy had consumed edible cannabis, according to KMGH. The subsequent reports stated the absence of THC in her body.

However, as investigations went on, the Denver Police Department discovered shocking facts and realized that Stacy's death had been a concealed homicide. A tip to the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers brought to light Robert Feldman's infidelity. The unsealed arrest affidavit made things clear as Stacy was found to have been a victim of domestic violence.

Susan McBride, the woman who met Robert through Tinder in February 2015, had approached Stacy for clarity the same day she was found dead in the tub. Stacy was used to Robert cheating on her and allegedly dealt with the situation calmly.

The authorities followed up on the tip and found that Robert had cashed out $750,000 of Stacy's insurance policy in 2010. According to 9News, the authorities approached Dr. Bill Smock, a nationally recognized expert in domestic violence, in October 2017, for a relook at the autopsy reports and the photographs from the crime scene.

The cause of Stacy Feldman's death was found to be an assault, which included blunt force trauma, strangulation, and suffocation, according to the arrest affidavit.
