This is Deborah Roberts here with the final bonus episode of our latest true crime series from ABC 2020 and ABC Audio, Bridge of Lies.

Next week, we'll be right back here to tell you about a whole new series about another heartbreaking case.

So don't go anywhere.

But for now, here's the final episode of Bridge of Lies.

In the suburbs of D.C., a woman fails to show up for work and is found brutally murdered.

I wonder what's emergency?

We just walked in the door, and there's blood in the foyer.

For the next two decades, the case remained unsolved, until new technology allowed investigators to do what had once been impossible.

A new series from ABC Audio in 2020.

Blood and Water.

Coming April 28th, wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, I'm Brad Milkey.

I'm host of ABC's flagship daily news podcasts start here, and welcome to a final special episode to close out Bridge of Lies. I'm here with your host, Juju Chang, to reflect on the series, dig into the behind the scenes, and examine some footage that has not been heard yet in this series.

For many of you, this podcast is probably not your introduction to Juju. If at any point, while listening to Bridge of Lies, you thought, wow, that voice sounds really familiar. It's probably because she's been on your TV screen many times before. Juju is the co-anchor of ABC's Nightline. She's reported on countless editions of 2020. She's anchored live coverage and special editions. And in fact,

she just returned from Japan and South Korea with a few more stories for the network. So, Juju, I'm out of breath just describing your job. Thank you for being here. My pleasure. You know, I'm the biggest fan of start here. So happy always to be with you, Brad. Yeah, well, it's so great to see you. And like I said, you got this long resume. With Bridge of Lies, you actually add like a new feather to your cap.

You're now podcast host.

We'll talk more about that role later. But I want to just start with the story itself, since I think so many of us have been listening to this whole series with Bated Breath. On just like a personal human level, Juju, how did this story kind of sit with you? Well, Sarah Stern was just 19 when she disappeared and I have three sons, as you know, and they're about this age range. And, you know,

they have their entire lives out in front of them. They have so much promise. And she was a very

talented artist and she had lots of friends. And just all of that mystery unfolding at the beginning of her life

is really captivating. But in addition to that, you get to start seeing her relationship with

her father, her relationship with her friends, and what this young adulthood felt like. It's just an

incredibly riveting story. Well, and obviously, like she passed before any of this sort of came to the attention of the news media.
