She went overboard. He came back soaking wet and speechless. And by morning, the lake was swarming with deputies and dive teams.

Tom Rhodes was convicted of murdering his wife on a moonlit boat ride in Minnesota. The bruises, the body, the suspicious behavior… it all seemed to add up but 25 years later, the science that helped lock him away fell apart under scrutiny.

But one September night in 1992, it became something else entirely. A man walked away from that cliffside claiming his wife had fallen. No one saw it happen. No one heard her scream. And for years, no one asked the right questions. But when they finally did, a very different story began to unfold.
