Cal harris says he did not kim his wife and his children agree. They believe the murder of their mom is an unsolved mystery. But prosecutors are convinced otherwise. So convinced, in fact they are putting this father of four on trial for a third time. How did it get to this snoint heres abcs matt gutman. Reporter when we sat down with cal harris he was about to go on trial for the murder of his wife michelle. So i asked the obvious question did you kill michelle . Absolutely not. Absolutely not. And the fact that im sitting here and having to go through this is just a horror show. Reporter if he sounds like hes been through the drill before, its because he has. Calvin harris has already been convicted twice for her murder. In 2007 and in 2009. One day there and then you go home the next day and aint going to see them for a while and thats pretty crappy. Reporter for his four children this was a neverending nightmare. We shouldnt have to live at home without both parents especially because our dad didnt do anything. Reporter when you think of the trial coming up do you think maybe there could be a third guilty verdict . You try not to. You want to stay in good spirits, and try not to think of that too much. Reporter this is the third time Calvin Harris has been put on trial for the same crime. Calvin harris will face a third jury for the murder of his wife michelle. The number of trials here is very unusual, rare. Reporter cal and michelle met in 1987. They got married. He was a millionaire car salesman and she a Pretty Office worker. Shaefs stunningly beautiful girl. She was fun. She had a great personality. Reporter they built this beautiful home in upstate new york and had four kids, but things started to fall apart. I was working with the business and working a lot of hours. We werent able to spend as much time together alone as we had before. So that put started to put a strain on our relationship. Reporter they decided to get a divorce but they were still living under the same roof. I couldnt change diapers and be with the kids during the day. I just tried to provide for her as best i could. Reporter but then on the night of september 11th in 2001 a night when most families were huddling together, michelle disappeared from the driveway of their house. Hi, this is michelle. Leave your name and number and i will call you back as soon as i can. Reporter you can hear her on voice mail. Michelle, honey, this is mary calling. Call me, honey, if you can. Reporter the growing concern of her friends as the hours past. Where the hell are you . I you need to call me as soon as freaking possible. Im worried to death about you. You need to call me. Reporter police were called to investigate on this police videotape you can see eerie signs of an idyllic family life interrupted. For the children then ages 2 to 7, it was almost impossible for you to grasp. So you dont have memories of your mom. You dont have any . You were 5. Right. But i mean it is 15 years ago almost. A long tiechlt. Reporter their father was under suspicion. I knew they were focusing on me. Whatever they asked for i gave them, phone records, financial information. Reporter police put him under constant surveillance. How did you find out they were tracking you . I put my truck in a shop and had a technician put it on a lift to service it normal maintenance and he came to my office a little while later and said you have to see. This we later determined it was a tracking device the state police put on the truck. Reporter four years after her disappearance, cal was arrested and charged with the murder of michelle. Police said they found blood in the house. And they found a witness who said they heard him threaten her. No evidence that he ever threatened her in a way that really caused her fear. People say things during an argument or divorce that they dont mean. Reporter do you remember the first time the indictment came down in 2005 . Yep. That was pretty rough. Really sad. I felt like it wasnt fair because we didnt get to say bye. We came home one day after school and our aunt, haunt uncle and nan think were there. He had been taken away. Yeah we didnt get to say goodbye. Reporter the case was largely circumstantial. Still the jury found him guilty. Just after the guilty verdict a bombshell. A new witness, this man, came forward who said he saw michelle after she was supposed to have been killed. Arguing with another man at the foot of this driveway. Cal was granted a new trial and again he was found guilty. Astonishingly again the verdict was tossed out. This time because of procedural concerns. Now on trial for the third time this time his kids now 16 17 18 and 20 are with him. We need to know what happened to our mother. We know our dad had nothing to do with her disappearance. We also know there are people out there with information who can help us get answers. Reporter did they ever ask you, daddy, did you kill me mom . No they have never asked me. They have never asked and i want to make sure they never ask me. I want to make sure there is no doubt in their minds. We feel like we need to tell people hes a great guy and no way he could have done Something Like this. Reporter did you ever ask him what happened that day . Absolutely not. Didnt have to. We didnt have any doubt he was involved. Hes been there with us through everything and given us every opportunity we have asked for and had our back and its our turn to do the same for him. Reporter his new lawyer says he has evidence that another man could have committed the crime. I think what the jury will see when they look at the entire case is that there were other leads that the police should have followed up. Reporter but the third trial now in the 11th week hasnt been going quite the way he hoped it would. The judge allowed the testimony of the eyewitness who said he saw her at the foot of the driveway. Kevin tubs is one of the people that saw the van outside of the family home in the driveway with a truck and two individuals talking in the very earlymorning hours. Reporter but the judge would not allow evidence related to a new suspect saying much of it was circumstantial, while other portions were here say. I cant get in to a huges mind as to why he is doing it. I can say that the individual seen with the victim an hour before she went missing is not a suspect or shouldnt be a suspect or the defense cant argue hes a suspect seems to belie logic. Reporter with only days to go, the fate of cal harris is once again about to go before a jury. I have been ripped away from my kids three times now, from the indictment to the first trial to the second trial. Here we sit. Having to face another trial. No one should have to go through this. No one. Reporter for nightline, im matt gutman, in new york. Next how do you know when you have become one of those parents, over sharing on social media. Are pictures of potty training too much .

Reporter jade received this letter in the mail slamming her for oversharing. Telling her to lay off with pics and updates, writing she crawls off the mat. We dont care. And she is 6 months old. Big deal sglifts shocked. Bullied and mommy shamed. Reporter its one thing to look away. It is another thing it is cruel to leave a mean message to the parents. That wasnt about being a good friend that. Is i want to hurt you and make you feel as though everyone is annoyed with you. Reporter jade is not alone. Social media is flooded with proud parent pics marking milestones online with like potty training and first steps. Children are playing, if they do a project, if they are cooking, reading. Reporter mommy blogger and clinical psychologist says sh is one way social media is transforming parenting. It is an easy way to stay connected with people an see their kids grow up and what they are doing. People dont have that much time in their day between working parenting, your marriage, whatever to stay in Constant Contact with friends. Reporter she posts photos of her three kids daily to thousands of followers on facebook, instagram and twitter. I dont think very deeply before i post anything as long as it is just a cute picture of my child. I figure i can just upload it. I try not to do 20 in a row. I dont think it issed bad. Even if someone post s 25 pictures a day of their kids. If somebody doesnt want to see it, they dont want to see sglit blare says she doesnt want to see it and she shouldnt have to. I have seen everything you can pick, pictorials of childbirth, 25 pictures of a csection. Reporter the antioversharenting crusader started a blog after she got fed up with her friends constant update. Her feed was 13 wrup a day of baby getting up or going down and changing and feeding the baby. Reporter she said there is a fine line between keeping loved ones up to date and going too far. I dont know that Everyone Needs to know about a child wruzing a bathroom but if you want to post about it maybe hold the reins. Reporter author and mommy blogger agrees. Sometimes less is more. After all those bathtub babies will one day grow up to be temperamental teenagers. Before you post a picture of your child in a poopy diaper, take a moment and realize they are going to see it. Reporter she regrets the posts she made of her children years ago. When my kids were little they wrote a story called love is in the air, not. The story leads off with i hate my daughter. I look back and say was it worth it . Probably not. Reporter sara says she doesnt share as much as her kids daily lives as she used to. Know which stories are yours to tell because some of the stories belong to your kid and its not right or our place to tell them. Reporter but it is those messy parenting moments that are the most relatable. As a mom of three, my life is far from perfect. Probably the best feedback i got on instagram is a quick video of my daughters birthday. We were singing happy birthday and my son wanted to blow out the candles and she screamed at him than got in a fight. Its my birthday. When you share the moments that arent picture perfect it makes us feel great. Not because we want somebody bad to happen to you but this is real. This is what parenting is like. It a messy, fun, crazy world. Embrace your crazy, embrace it. Embrace your crazy because every mom will tell you, its crazy. Reporter for nightline, im paula faris in new york. Thank you paula.

Reporter we wanted to get a look at the most outrageous cabins so we traveled to vermont, heart of cabin country. We snowmobiled our way through winding back woods, braved sub zero temperatures and climbed 1200 feet above sea level to check out, this the waterfall cabin. What do you think when you see all of this . I see no stress and relaxation. Thats what i see. Reporter its not just the view that makes the cabin special. The cabin kings named it miracle mountain. Reporter a coffee table turned glass floor. In the show you can see how spectacular the view is. And theres more. The master bedroom is made out of a refrigerator box truck and toilet like no other. Step up in there. All right. Dont have to use it. Just try it out. Oh my god. Out of control. Oh, my lord. I took a spin inside the 360degree restroom. Wow, look at that. For the family, the outcome better than they dreamed. Shut the hell up. Oh my god oh, my god tough to call it a Million Dollar view, this is like a 10 million view. Nope.
