It's a story we've all heard before. Woman asks for divorce. Woman goes missing. Sounds familiar, right? For
00:00:08
decades, Bonnie Lee Schultz's case has been viewed through one lens. After she asked for a divorce, her husband felt
00:00:14
like he was losing. Losing her, losing in general. And this angry husband caused his wife to go missing. But what
00:00:22
if that trope blinded investigators other possibilities? What if focusing on only one, this one possibility, meant
00:00:30
that no one looked anywhere else? That's what we're exploring. Because there may
00:00:35
be more to this unsolved case if we ask some new questions.
