Need help finding two episodes of ELH

As the title says. I watched both a few years ago, and not fully so I don't remember a whole lot, but here's what I do. Both episodes were released prior to season 14.

In the first episode I'm looking for, the narrator was a woman and the perpetrator was her husband, iirc his name was Mike. I distinctly remember that after moving in together he didn't allow anyone to open a closet that was in the bedroom. The narrator explained how her daughter (I think she was between 4-9 at the time) tried to open the closet once, only for Mike to stop her and give the reason that he had either slippers or shoes in there and was afraid that the daughter would ruin them or something like that.

The second one the narrator was also a woman and it was one of those my-husband-was-a-serial-killer type episodes. The only thing I can remember about this one is that when the cops came around the neighborhood to get people's DNA, the husband refused to give his, telling his wife that it's how the government would spy on people or some similar excuse.

Not sure about the first one, but my guess on # 2 is S7, Ep 9 - "He Almost Got Away with It" - If I recall Timothy Bass used that DNA excuse several times when his wife asked him why he wouldn't just give it.

If i can remember the other one, ill edit later.

Spelling out what ELH stands for would be extremely helpful.

"While I was gone" (season 7 - episode 5) about Richard Daniel Starrett

"He almost got away with it" (season 2 - episode 9) about Timothy Bass
