Michael Finkel

He lied.

That was the worst day of your life?

By far.

Scorned by his colleagues, the shattered shell of Michael Finkel retreated to Montana, awaiting the merciless media inquiries which were sure to come.

The first call came sooner than expected.

But the reporter wasn't interested in Finkel's fall from grace.

Astonished, Finkel learned about Christian Longo, a man now under arrest in Oregon for the murders of his wife and three children.

When he also learned that Longo had been posing as Michael Finkel of the New York Times, his journalistic instincts went into overdrive.

He had to find out exactly who had been playing him.

Several weeks later... The phone rang.

To accept this call, dial 5 now.

It seemed Longa was also curious.

He agreed to meet Finkel in person.

...Wongo began sending a series of meticulously handwritten letters.

The two also scheduled weekly phone calls.

Hey, how you doing?

Calls that Finkel recorded.

From Mike Finkel and the Oregon investigators, the story centered around one baffling question.

How could a seemingly devoted family man turn into a cold-blooded killer?

That mystery began under this bridge, here in the quiet coastal community where Chris Longo's wife and three children were last seen alive.
