Hey listeners, this is Katie Vine, the host of the Problem with Eric.

Years ago at Texas Monthly, I wrote a story about an accountant who embezzled $17 million from the

world's most famous fruitcake company in Corsicana, Texas.

I'd love to tell you about a new Trukine podcast called The Unforgotten,

from our friends over at Free Range, about a murder that happened in that same town.

One night in 1993, a few fishermen were boating down the

Trinity River when they found a mysterious package floating on the water.

Inside was the body of Shelly Watkins, a young mom who'd married into one of Corsicna's wealthy families.

Someone had wrapped her body in plastic, bound her with duct tape,

and chained her to a pair of concrete blocks.

In the Unforgotten, Carol Dawson and my old friend and former Texas monthly

staffer West Ferguson dive into this troubling case which was buried more than 30 years

ago, and they turn up a story you wouldn't believe, one of power, money, sex and

silence involving an act of public corruption so over the top the FBI got

involved. More people than you might think want this unsolved murder to stay hidden in the past,

but others are finally coming forward, witnesses, with new evidence, and they're demanding justice

at long last for Shelley Watkins. You can binge all 10 episodes of the

Unforgotten wherever you get podcasts. Here's the trailer. When Jerry was

trying to tell me they had a fight and Shelly walked out and left her girls.

He said, yeah, she was upset. She just walked out.

I said, Jerry, I don't think she would do that.

He goes, well, she did.
