On the morning of October 28th, 2018, Saskia woke up in the same bed she always did. It was the bed she'd shared with her husband for years. She felt her regular cotton sheets around her and she opened her eyes to the same white ceiling. But this morning was different because the night before, Saskia had seen something. I told myself, this is really important and I need to remember anything that I can. In the middle of the night, she awoke in a haze to find her husband on his laptop. His face was aglow in the light of his screen. What was on that screen, she knew, would change her life forever. I was so out of it. It was like I was in a dream, but I also knew that this was really serious. I told myself, you have to remember this.
I just knew. And I passed back out. In the morning, she could still picture it. Flashes of one image ran through her mind. It was a window into a life her husband never planned for her to see. And so I woke up feeling so scared, like petrified. I didn't know what I was looking at, but I knew that he was doing something in secret. It felt like I was in danger. And I knew that I had to confront him and find out what was going on. 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.
