This episode recounts two separate cold cases involving women whose lives were tragically cut short by people they trusted. The first case follows the 2017 disappearance of Jodie Brooke Anderson, highlighting how her mother fabricated a kidnapping story to hide her own financial exploitation of her missing daughter. The second narrative focuses on the 1979 murder of Adele Marie Easterly, an assistant manager killed by her boyfriend, John Greer, who was a sheriff's deputy at the time. Detectives eventually discovered that Greer was a serial predator who used his position of power to intimidate victims and hide a history of violence. Decades later, a deathbed confession finally linked the former officer to the murders of both Easterly and his own wife. Together, these accounts illustrate the persistence of investigators in uncovering the truth behind long-unsolved crimes and the eventual exposure of those who deceived the law.
