One question changed everything. When Mary Yoder's sister Janine mentioned her cause of death to Mary's
00:00:05
doctor, he looked confused. Janine and her mom and siblings were under the impression that Mary had died of
00:00:12
ascending cholangitis, infection of the bile ducts. But, that wasn't the final diagnosis.
00:00:19
The doctor explained that all they really knew at that point is that they didn't know how Mary had died, and they
00:00:23
were waiting for toxicology testing to tell them more. And before Janine left, he asked her
00:00:29
something unsettling. Where's the husband? That question echoed in Janine's mind,
00:00:35
especially knowing Bill had Mary cremated just days after she died, before the toxicology came back.

Why rush cremation if you don't know what killed her?
