Andrea Gunning

It was steady, it was present, it was safe.

And that's what makes her story so powerful, because it's not about what she missed.

It's about how much she was holding, how much she was giving, and how deeply she trusted.

Danielle, if you're listening, I hope you loved New York City.

If you have not heard this story, I won't give any more away.

Hearing Danielle's story is fascinating, but seeing it unfold is a whole new experience.

So please check out Betrayal, Secrets and Lies on ABC and Hulu to see Danielle and see where the story took place.

Enjoy the episode.

I'm Andrea Gunning, and this is Betrayal, a show about the people we trust the most and the deceptions that change everything.

One night in 2017, Danielle Oliver Chauvet was awoken by the FBI and state police.

They were pointing guns at her, demanding to know where her husband was.

That night, she learned the man she had spent 20 years with was hiding some very big secrets.

This is Danielle's first time telling her story.

She's been reluctant to share what she went through because, as you'll hear in part two, her husband has other victims.

She wants to be respectful of their experience and suffering.

But this episode isn't about her husband's crimes.

It's about the 20-year marriage Danielle built with him, the ways he deceived and violated her, and the shocking betrayal that ended it all.

It's also the story of being totally in the dark about your partner's double life.

Danielle grew up in a happy, tight-knit family in California.

Growing up, Danielle's parents were her role models.
