Saskia

That morning marked the end of a marriage, of a family.

But with that ending came a new dawn.

Saskia didn't know it at the time, but in climbing out of bed that morning, she was finally climbing out of the dark.

I told him I needed to talk to him.

I had his laptop and I told him what I had seen the night before.

I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing.

And I'm not going to tell the police if you totally come clean.

And immediately the mask came off.

I'm Andrea Gunning, and this is Betrayal Season 5, Episode 1, In the Dark.

This season is about a crime our team had never heard of before.

That is, until we heard about it from a listener.

She was a woman in the Midwest, a mom.

Over the course of a few months and many phone calls, she told us the story of what happened to her and the crime she described horrified us.

We couldn't imagine how anyone could do something so cruel to someone they loved.

But then we heard from another listener and another and another.

That mom in the Midwest wasn't alone.

Dozens of women were discovering the same thing.

The husbands they knew in the light of day were different people when the lights went out.

One of these women was Saskia Inwood.

After getting to know Saskia over the last year, we drove down to visit her in Maryland.
