Officials rule Jake Embert’s death a suicide. Then his family hires a private investigator, who uncovers troubling details that suggest not everything is as it seems. Blayne Alexander reports. In Dateline’s “After the Verdict” series, Blayne sits down Jake’s daughter Rachel to discuss how her family is doing in the wake of the sentencing of Jake’s killer, and how their experience has inspired her to advocate for Embert’s Law, which would raise the qualifications required to become a coroner in Georgia.
