A few miles away, when the smell of natural gas awakened one of the children, prompting the family to flee to a neighbor's house, it became a matter for the gas company -- and the police.

Speidel, then 37, later pleaded guilty to five counts of attempted aggravated murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

To this day, Speidel's LinkedIn profile reads "Business Director -- SPARQ; Nike, April 2011 -- Present (5 years 8 months)." He was, in fact, the man in charge of Nike's SPARQ business, which Nike immediately put on hold amid the investigation before quietly shutting it down for good within a year's time.
