In the mid 80s, Gail and Bob Bierenbaum were seemingly living the high life in the prestigious Upper East Side of Manhattan, but early on in their marriage, Bob was already showing signs that he was dangerous. When Gail mysteriously disappeared one day after a loud argument, her family was convinced that Bob killed her. But it would take over a decade to find the evidence they'd need to prove it.
