Police find her body in the car.

Initially, they're thinking an accident, but then they see something kind of strange.

And let's talk about that.

She's in the passenger side of the car.

I mean, it's a horrifying scene already, but how in the world would she have been in the passenger side of the car?

Yeah, and what was so surprising to me when I was out there talking to folks is that, you know, the idea that, I mean, it raised red flags, but it didn't point to anybody in particular.

People suspected Paul might have been involved, but he offered an alibi.

And so time goes on, and no arrests are made.

And her family is just, you know, despondent.

They're, you know, upset.

They have a funeral, but they have no answers.

And then years go by.

And of course, as I said, the state gets involved with these new investigators.

And I had a chance to speak with a BCI agent, Doug Burke, who took me to that pond to tell me a little bit about what they saw all these years later.

And he's pointing out how he thinks the car might have gone into the pond.

And he was convinced.

Either someone drove it there or jumped out and made sure it was pushed into the pond.

He was convinced that that was how it happened.

And what really shocked me, Julia, was he took me to an impoundment lot and showed me something that was pretty chilling, the actual car, which is still preserved all these years later.

I got a chance to see this car.
