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.

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.

Yeah. And, you know, what was interesting too about this story is that, you know, clearly they had problems in their marriage because he would go out, you know, supposedly with his buddies. And on this particular night, he went out with his buddies. But he went to great lengths to, you know, cover his tracks.

And on this particular night, he went out with his buddies. But he went to great lengths to, you know, cover his tracks.

He would say he was going off to some kind of a convention or some kind of a meeting out of town. Of course, he's with Molly. This relationship goes on. And this is the part, I think, that intrigues people so much is that probably James Addy was content to just continue this affair. But Molly, with no knowledge, of course, that this guy is living a double life, wants to get married.

But Molly, with no knowledge, of course, that this guy is living a double life, wants to get married.

And so he is going to honor that at a certain point. You know, she's pushing, she's pushing, she wants to get married, and he's got to figure it out. So he goes so far as to get the marriage license, and, you know, he's caught on videotape. You see the two of them on surveillance tape going to the office to go get the marriage license, and you know his mind is spinning. What am I going to do?

What am I going to do? And that's the kind of stuff I think that people find so intriguing. But Ryan, one of the things that I so enjoy about this kind of a conversation, us getting a chance to talk about these stories that we cover, is sharing with our viewers and our listeners the things that happen behind the scenes, right?

Whether we're struggling to work a story and get some video that maybe something goes wrong or, you know, those kinds of things. But in this particular instance... This was one I will never forget. We are interviewing Melanie Addy, and we have a hair and makeup team there to touch her up, to touch me up.

So we're sitting there doing this interview, and after we finish, when I go back behind the scenes to say something to them, they both, these two women, are standing there. Their face is almost ashen, and they said, we have something to tell you. We have to tell you something. And I said, what is that? We knew Molly. We were the hair and makeup team hired for her wedding. We knew this woman.

We knew something happened to her. We never knew what. And then they proceed to play the last audio clip they have of her on their cell phone, you know, talking about the wedding.

I mean, it was stunning. We didn't get a chance to put that in our piece, but it was just like, what?
