That meeting with Joe was probably one of the most memorable meetings I've ever had at 48 Hours.

And

He told me about his sister's case and the circumstances surrounding it, which sounded extremely suspicious.

And his heart and his compassion for his sister really touched me.

And I knew it was something we had to look into further.

So he had never heard from law enforcement until he was asked to identify the body.

So the Hunter family knew in their bones that this didn't ring true.

And let's just remember that Joe and Patricia and the family were terrified.

So when the news came, this was all their absolute worst nightmare.

But then a couple years after Joanna's death, Mark is arrested, but it has nothing to do with Joanna's case.

A woman came forward named Sarah Nottingham.

He discovered nautical rope by her feet, which is what he believes...

Yeah, there's an incredible organization called Alliance for Hope International who took a look at the case and believed so strongly that there was foul play involved.

It had all the hallmarks of a staged suicide.

Yeah.

The victim dies unexpectedly.

One partner wants to end the relationship.

Victim is found in their home or place of residence.

The partner is the last person to see the victim alive.

Yes, absolutely.
