In December 2022, a hunter in Georgia thought he found a wild hog in the woods, but it was a human torso.

The victim turned out to be the wife of a decorated Navy lawyer with a secret double life.

Sheriff's Office. Lieutenant Anthony Brown was the first officer on the scene, and within hours, the woods had turned
