Yeah, I agree with you. And you and I can peel back and look at some of the ones that we've covered. But as you're talking about this, I'm thinking about a story that I covered in Minnesota where someone actually betrayed his wife. And this guy had never been in trouble, in fact, was quite religious. And they're supposed to be going to church that morning when she's killed.

What do you make of the motives? Because oftentimes these are folks who are trying to either cover their tracks or sometimes they're involved in duplicitous relationships. Talk to me a little bit about the motives.

And they feel boxed in. Yeah, they feel boxed in. You make a great point. That's exactly right. That's what gets me. And you raise an interesting point when you talk about these double lives. I mean, those are the things of TV dramas, right?

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.

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?

Were you... Were you hurt?

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.
