Welcome to the prologue of Countdown to Capture.

I'm Jennifer Mandela, and I'll be hosting this podcast about Peter Chadwick.

Who is Peter Chadwick?

He's a man who killed his wife on September 18th, 2018.

Suddenly there's new heartbeat.

This new heartbeat is pumping loudly and furiously.

Police in Newport Beach launching their own podcast.

There's all these antennas going out to the world.

Remember, podcasts go to the world.

Bring us fresh tips.

It was a brilliant idea.

It was actually incredible to see the numbers take off.

With the podcast already leading to new tips, police are hopeful.

Before the podcast, we were not getting calls from the public, and now we are.

We got a lot of tips.

Some pretty good tips, and then we got some really, really out of left field, really, really crazy ones.

But again, you still have to vet it.

Peter's face was everywhere.

Collectively, these agencies do one more thing that attracts attention in the case, and that's offer money.

Money is a good lure if you happen to know something about the whereabouts of Peter Chadwick.
