911, where is the emergency?

It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey shore.

Someone reports an abandoned car on a bridge.

A search gets underway for the missing driver, 19-year-old Sarah Stern.

Is it a missing person? Is it a suicide?

At this point, nobody knows.

Old friendships, buried cash, and a sinister plot that was once pitched as a movie, plays out in real life.

I'm Jiu Chang. From 2020 and ABC Audio, listen to Bridge of Lies, coming March 10th, wherever you listen to podcasts.

Welcome, book nerds. It is Thursday, another Thursday, and we are always, always so happy to have you back or happy to welcome you for the first time. I'm excited about today's show before I introduced my co-host. He can sit there quietly from a minute while I'm right here. I'm here, I'm here.
