One of the ones that, of course, I remember so well is we call it Love You to Death, is this case of Molly Watson, who was found murdered on a dark country road. She was getting ready to get married. Her new marriage license was in her car. Her boyfriend of seven years, so she'd been seeing somebody for seven years, and she's got her new license there in the back of the car.

And when police find her, they feel like they're going to go and drop this horrible news on this fiancé who's going to be just devastated. And they shockingly discovered his wife, his wife at home, that he's got a double life. I was the correspondent on this story, and I still think about it to this day for a lot of reasons. But let's listen to a clip.

I talked to Melanie Addy, who is the ex-wife of the perpetrator, James Addy, and it was the first time she had actually given an interview. Let's take a listen. The police tell you that your husband has a dead fiancé?

And he's engaged to the one? Yeah. And you're learning all of this in one night?
And he's engaged to the one? Yeah. And you're learning all of this in one night?
And you've been married for 20... 23 years.
And you've been married for 20... 23 years.
Did you think that your husband was capable of murder?
Did you think that your husband was capable of murder?
I was, you know, the incredulity because, you know, you have to think that people are going to wonder if you've been married to somebody for 23 years, did you see any signs, you know? And I did go into that thinking, you know, come on, you had to have seen something. I was a little surprised at how matter of fact she was about it. She was clearly still very hurt by it.

But she absolutely stood by her story that she, you know, they had problems in their marriage and, you know, they weren't necessarily probably on the best of terms. You know, he went his way. She would go to bed early. You know, they didn't have a great marriage. But she never, ever would have imagined. And Ryan, remember, he worked at a prison.

And so, you know, this is somebody you would expect to at least think about, you know, right and wrong and so forth. So I just I wanted to sort of represent the viewer there with those questions and the shock of what she told me. First of all, my heart went out to her because her life just blew up as she knew it. But wow is right.
