I don't know when people go undercover, you know, with wires and all this stuff.

I mean, this was pretty brave stuff that she's actually recording him.

Anything could have happened.

And she's doing this and she had not spoken out before.

So when we began digging into this story and you were able to convince her to sit down and speak with us, this was a pretty big deal.

This was a woman who was not only just scared and worried that her marriage had blown up and all of that, but how were you able to convince her to sit down with us?

Because I was so impressed when she did.

Her psyche had been injured prior to this in another relationship and just how she wanted to do the right thing.

It was actually very powerful for all of us, I think, in the room.

So she tells us her story.

She talks about how she did these recordings.

She talks about her feelings about her husband and how everything changed in 2021.

after 10 years and no answers about what happened to Heidi Fergus, her husband, 38-year-old Nick, is arrested in connection with his wife's murder.

And you said that in a way, he had sort of used his faith over all those years to kind of shield him, which was so interesting.

You know, we do stories all the time on people who almost got away with something.

Typically, they're not people who are deeply involved in the church.

And in this case, he was.

easy for people to believe his version of events because how could someone like him do the alternative um so yeah it shook the community for sure yeah it did shake the community so he's arrested of course he's professing his innocence that he's not guilty but ultimately this case goes to trial and boy was that something you were in that courtroom so we're going to talk about that yeah

Don't go anywhere.

And don't you go anywhere because when we come back, Nick goes on trial.
