Wife Posts Chilling Goodbye on Christmas Before Husband Kills Her

On Christmas Day, a 62-year-old woman typed seven chilling words on Facebook: "I hope I will still be here in 2018, we will see." Five days later, she was dead, and her husband called 999 without urgency, an hour after she had died. Was her post a desperate cry for help that went unheard?

In this episode, we analyze the hidden abuse within a 45-year marriage, the secret messages found on a phone, and the calm, unsettling words spoken to police after a wife's death. What led to the final, fatal act in a quiet Stowmarket cul-de-sac?
