Episode 16: Part 2 - Your Mom's Coworker

In a small town in Virginia on the second day of the new year, 1987, a man placed a frantic phone call to 911 after he thought he spotted the body of his wife floating in a creek behind their home. In the aftermath of this devastating loss, and trying to cash in on life insurance policies totaling $720,000, Mr. Archaeology's life and good name were destroyed.

Join our host, our lawyer, and the mom who started it all (we all know you let the host watch cops as a babe) as they chat about how Mr. Archaeology's life changed after his wife lost her life dumping a can off ashes one fateful night - if you believe Mr. Archaeology's story, that is.

Special grand juries, appeals 101, and the inspiration for Scott Peterson himself free with stream.
