The neighbor who broke: No bodies, just a cat bowl.

The neighbor who broke: No bodies, just a cat bowl.

On April 11, 2016, two people disappeared from their property in Washington. There were no distress calls or witnesses, just a loose dog and a cat food bowl in the wrong place. What happened in that house for a neighbor to break down and an entire family to close ranks to protect the guilty?

In this episode, we examine the disappearance of Patrick Shun and Monique Patinot, a couple living in a rural area of Washington. The investigation focused on a neighborhood dispute and the unusual behavior of a dog. How did a domestic detail become a key piece in solving a double homicide without bodies?
