But I have an interesting one for you today. One where I ask you to put aside old tropes and quick judgments and
00:00:06
listen all the way to the end of the story. Because you might just find the thing that I've come to learn over the
00:00:12
years that when you go beyond the surface level of a case, things are never as simple as they appear. Because
00:00:18
this case on its surface seems like one that you might have heard before. A tragic tale as old as true crime. Woman
00:00:25
tells her husband she wants a divorce. Woman goes missing. and husband does and says all the wrong things which make
00:00:32
everyone around him think he is oh so guilty of a crime they just can't prove even happened. He eventually dies under
00:00:40
a cloud of suspicion and the case is still unsolved. But if the husband did it and it was
00:00:47
that obvious, why couldn't police make their case? So for just a moment, I want us all to consider something. What if
00:00:55
the reason this case hasn't been solved isn't because answers went with her husband to the grave? What if it's
00:01:02
because nobody ever looked for the answers in the right place? And if we could step back and reconsider what we
00:01:10
think we know, is it possible to finally find Bonnie Lee Schultz?
