The house of cards was about to crash down on him.
And the DA argues there may have been another motive behind the murder.
When they look into Molly's search history, they found some interesting data from April 26, 2018, the day before the murder.
Molly had been furiously Googling, looking for something.
Melanie Addy's obituary.
If Jim was telling the truth about his quote unquote ex-wife and the funeral was already scheduled, Molly believed she would be able to find proof of it online.
She used a bunch of different search terms, but of course, there was nothing for her to find.
It seems like Molly had finally grown suspicious about Jim's stories, especially after he claimed his ex-wife happened to die right before the wedding, as if he was hoping that Molly would call everything off.
And when that didn't happen, instead of coming clean, he killed her.
In 2021, Jim is convicted of murdering Molly Watson.
He's sentenced to life in prison without parole.
By this time, Melanie had long since done what Jim could never do.
She filed for divorce.
Earlier, we talked about the idea of the doppelganger, the belief that when someone lives dishonestly, they split.
that a second version of them steps in to handle the things they don't want to face.
In this story, that split wasn't supernatural.
It looked like two phones, two timelines, two women who never met, but were living inside the same lie.
Jim Addy believed he could keep those lives separate.
That one version of himself who could love, plan, promise, while the other took care of the consequences.
But the problem with doubles is that they don't stay contained.
