Summary

In our last episode, I told you the stories of Elena Jacobs and Teresa Krause. How their bodies were found on Del Rey beach, 7 months after they disappeared from the Tongue Point Job Corps location, and that no one has been held responsible for their deaths. In this episode, I’ll still be focused on Del Rey Beach, but jumping ahead to 1988. That was when 15-year-old Dorene Raterman disappeared after going on a bike ride. Someone was held responsible, but was he the only responsible party?

0:38.7

to Lyndon for five years. And when Lyndon is murdered and his secret start to reveal themselves,

0:44.1

it leaves Verity with a lot more questions and pain than answers. You know how we joke about

0:49.0

throwing away our computers and dumping out our nightstands when we die? Oh, yes.

0:55.7

Well, Lyndon didn't have that plan,

1:02.4

and it turns out that he was hiding some not-so-good stuff under a floorboard. Oh. That's the point I just reached in the book. That's juicy. The wedding vow really hits on the fear of whether or not

1:06.7

1:11.4

We did.

1:12.0

And we don't know each other at all.

1:13.6

1:17.2

That is genuinely a fear of mine.

1:19.4

And I'm a little worried that she may not make it through before becoming a victim herself.

1:25.0

Wow.

1:25.9
