Full Episode
I've seen a lot of stuff over 30 years, you know, some very despicable crime and things that are kind of tough to wrap your head around. And this ranks right up there in the pantheon of Rhode Island fraudsters.

Listen to Deep Cover, The Truth About Sarah, wherever you get your podcasts.
I hate to say this because I'm a woman, but I think that a lot of women see successful men, self-made men, attractive men. They think, I want a piece of that.
They're traveling at a high rate of speed.
It doesn't matter if they're married or not. Oh my goodness. Frances and Bill Hall met when they were in high school. I think they were around 16. Neither of them had very much money. They started dating, and they were married by 18. Frances Hall is someone that you wish was in your family. She's very selfless, caring, and really always thinking about other people.
Bill Hall loved Frances and his children. But Bill's fatal flaw is that he also liked the attention of younger women.
Bonnie Contreras is Bill Hall's mistress. He had been dating her for about three years, and by most accounts, it was a pretty open affair.
think of the most flattering way to describe Bonnie Contreras. Bonnie Contreras is almost like a master manipulator. She would take compromising photos, kind of just gather all these nuggets that if things ever went south, she had all the proof she needed to kind of force you to do what she wanted.
