9-1-1, 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 now

to Bridge of Lies, wherever you get your podcasts.

My husband, he's very limited in the way he thinks in many ways.

Like all men.

Yeah, like, you know, think about where else we can order food from.

Well, there's nothing.

So every night, my wife asks me, what do you feel like for dinner?

And my answer to this is always, I'm good with whatever.

Pick a place, I'll find something. Get what you're in the move forward. It enrages her. It does. There's nothing that gets her more mad than this. And then if I do suggest things, she dismisses them out of hand. So it's almost like she needs me to tell her what she doesn't want. Maybe you should just say like, are we recording this? Yeah, we're recording everything.

This is all gold.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Because I was going to say, She needs me to tell her what she doesn't want. Maybe you should just say like, are we recording this?

Yeah, we're recording everything. This is all gold. Yeah. Go ahead. Because I was going to say, maybe you need to say, well, she says, let's role play. Please. Oh, psychotherapy. You'll be, Heather. Okay. You're Heather. What do you want to do for dinner? Whatever you want. that's really not helpful.

I don't know what I want.
