Kirk Zimmerman Trial
The case against murder victim Pam Zimmerman's ex-husband, Kirk Zimmerman, will be featured on Dateline NBC's weekend mystery. The upcoming episode, titled "Before Midnight," premieres on Saturday, July 20, 2024 at 10:00 p.m. ET on the network. The synopsis for the episode reads: "A successful businesswoman and mother of three is found shot to death in her office; the investigation into her death leaves a family divided. Keith Morrison reports."
Pam Zimmerman's ex-husband, Kirk Zimmerman, was charged with murder in 2015 and a trial resulted in his acquittal. Prosecutors alleged he fatally shot the mother of three on Nov. 4, 2014, over financial problems, years after their divorce. Pam's neighbor, Julie Koh, and the office manager were the first to find the crime scene in her office. Authorities also believed the killer had attempted to stage the crime scene to make it look like a robbery.
A series of circumstantial evidence led investigators to suspect Kirk Zimmerman's involvement in the crime. However, in 2019, after hearing testimony from several witnesses and experts, a jury found him not guilty. The former couple's three children also pleaded to their father's innocence. Kirk is a free man since his acquittal.
