Cynthia Sommer

Cynthia Sommer was convicted of Todd’s murder. But did she actually poison her husband, or was she being judged for her scandalous behavior Usually a verdict means the end of a case, but for Cynthia Sommer, the biggest surprise was yet to come. Marine Sgt. Todd Sommer, 23, seemed to be in peak physical condition before he suddenly collapsed and died in February of 2002.
Prior to that fatal day, Todd had complained of severe stomach pains and nausea, information that led NCIS to order a rarely performed test on some of Todd’s tissue samples. The results, prosecutors said, proved that Todd Sommer was the victim of a lethal dose of arsenic. And only one person had both motive and opportunity – his wife, Cynthia.
Correspondent Richard Schlesinger reports the dramatic new developments on 48 HOURS MYSTERY: “An Invisible Enemy,” Saturday, Feb. 7 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. This broadcast is produced by Marcie Spencer and Gayane Keshishyan. Paul Ryan is the senior producer. Al Briganti is the executive editor. Susan Zirinsky is the executive producer.
