I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. How far would he go to cover up what he'd done?
The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific. And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future.

Chapter 2: Why did Talena disappear?
Singleness is not a waiting room. You are actually at the party right now. Let me hear it.
Listen to VoiceOver on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
When I found out she was arrested, I was super excited. Like, maybe they got her, maybe they found something, because we didn't know right away what she had been arrested for. We're all kind of connecting through conference calls from each person trying to figure out, did you hear anything? Did you hear kind of talking to the neighbors?
The sleuths soon learn Corey is facing more than a dozen charges, including possession of a firearm as a felon, destroying evidence, and obstructing a criminal investigation. but not any charges directly related to Talena's disappearance. Without a body, the police are hamstrung. Still, Jess and the other online sleuths take it as a win.
It was like, okay, maybe we're going to have some answers. Maybe they know something. It was a super exciting time for everybody. I think most people involved were like, finally.
As the online sleuths celebrate, Jess notices that Marty is dealing with Corey's arrest differently.
The only person who wasn't super excited and seemed more pissed off was Marty. He was pissed, but he was excited, but he was more angry about the situation.
Corey's first night in jail, Jess gets a call. It's Marty. He tells her that he'd gone into Talena's empty house.
He told me that when he went in, he saw the will sitting on the counter. He saw Talena's will. And he had seen that Corey had circled and highlighted things about who's getting what and everything. how she's trying to take everything and run. And he had this whole long story about how he'd been completely cut out and he was furious.
