Early on the morning of April 20th, 2012, Gerard Baden-Clay called to report his wife Allison missing. He said she had gone out for a walk and hadn’t returned.

As details of Gerard’s secret life, affairs, and business struggles emerged, suspicion quickly turned to him. But would there be enough evidence for justice to be served?
