murder of her husband, Randy Row and two children, Joshua and Tabitha by Robin Lee Row in Idaho.
The show is titled Sacrifice Their Blood and Discovery ID describes
it as, “Women that will do whatever it takes to have their own
needs met; even if it means murdering their own children.”
Her motive was life insurance policies In 1980 she had killed her son in similar fashion and gotten away with it.

.
Her appeal (see link) includes:
During the early morning hours of February 10, 1992, a fire broke out at Robin Row's two-story apartment in a duplex at 10489 Seneca, in Boise, Idaho, and local fire trucks were dispatched to the scene. Due to recent problems in her relationship with her husband, Row was not living at the residence at that time. Instead, she was staying with a friend, Joan McHugh. After the fire was sufficiently under control, fire crews entered the apartment and found the bodies of Row's husband, Randy Row, and her two children, Joshua (age 10) and Tabitha (age 8). All three had died from carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of the fire
.
Fire investigators found that the fire primarily started where the apartment joined the garage and that a second fire was started in some clothes piled in the living room. The investigators determined that a flammable, liquid accelerant was used to ignite the fire, and found that the smoke detector in the residence had been disabled before the fire when the power to the upstairs was cut off at the circuit breaker. As a result of the disconnected smoke alarm, the victims were not alerted to the fire which caused their deaths.
