One morning, 26-year-old Heather Strong doesn't show up at work. Heather has little money and usually doesn't miss work unnecessarily, so her colleagues soon become worried. It turns out that the last person seen with Heather was her ex-husband Josh. But soon it becomes clear that there is another person in this story: Josh's lover Emilia.

The documentary series features author M. William Phelps, who wrote the book 'To Love and to Kill' about this frightening case. The podcast also includes accounts from Heather's family, friends, as well as police officers and perpetrators. Follow the podcast to know when new episodes are released.
