Everybody's Best Friend: The True Story of a Marriage That Ended in Murder

In 1997, Philadelphia police discovered that a young mother's death in her bathtub was not an accident. Stefanie Rabinowitz, twenty-nine, was found dead in her home on the Main Line. Initially appearing to be a drowning with no signs of forced entry or marital discord, an autopsy ordered at the last moment revealed the truth: she had been strangled and then placed in the tub to simulate an accident. The suspected killer was her thirty-four-year-old husband, Craig Rabinowitz, a man known as a devoted family man and loyal husband. As the investigation progressed, a hidden life emerged. Craig had been spending two thousand dollars a week on an exotic dancer, and financial motive—insurance money from his wife's death—appeared to drive the crime. Ken Englade, author of A Family Business and Hot Blood, presents exclusive interviews and inside details of how a seemingly perfect marriage concealed a double life and ended in murder.
