Veronica Bozza

This episode of True Crime All The Time dives into the 2010 murder of Veronica Boza, a devoted mother and successful television producer in Nashville, who was shot multiple times in her home on August 29, 2010. The case quickly centered on her estranged husband, Tim Boza, and his friend Corey Cotham, both of whom became suspects due to suspicious phone records, alibi inconsistencies, and incriminating statements. Veronica had recently filed for divorce and was in a contentious custody battle, while Tim stood to gain financially from her $550,000 life insurance policy. The investigation revealed a chilling plot: Tim and Corey had jokingly discussed a 'crisscross murder' scheme inspired by the 1987 film *Throw Mama from the Train*, where each would kill the other’s troublesome partner. Though Tim claimed it was just a joke, evidence—including Corey’s phone tracking Veronica’s route, a gun linked to the murder, and Corey’s own admission that he called Tim to say 'it was done'—pointed to a deadly execution of the plan. Despite Tim’s attempts to distance himself, his shifting stories, financial motives, and prior threats to Veronica sealed his fate. Both men were eventually convicted, with Corey receiving life without parole and Tim sentenced to 51 years before parole eligibility. The episode underscores how lies, poor storytelling, and emotional manipulation unravel even the most elaborate murder plots, especially when children are caught in the crossfire.
