About this audiobook

This true crime saga reveals the case of a missing Nashville woman, a husband on the run, and a rare cold case murder conviction. Janet March had it all: a corporate lawyer husband, two beautiful children, a promising career as an artist, and a dream house she designed herself. But behind closed doors, her husband led a destructive double life. On August 16, 1996, Janet had an appointment to finally file for divorce. But she never arrived. On the night of August 15, she vanished. Janet's disappearance incited a massive search and media frenzy that revealed her husband Perry's seedy dealings. When he absconded with his children to a new life in Mexico, Janet's parents began a decade-long, international custody battle that culminated in Perry's dramatic extradition to Tennessee. Meanwhile, the Nashville Police Department never found Janet's body. In spite of overwhelming odds, cold case detectives and prosecutors were determined to get justice-and with the help of a shocking surprise witness, they did.
