Tonight on Deadline, it's a train you can't stop it. You're being railroaded. You're like, how do I stop this?

Someone with a finger in my face going, you killed your wife.

These women had located a body. The woods is very sick and almost impassable. I kept pushing these vines.

That's what I saw Emily.

There's some sort of cord wrapped around her neck. The question is simple.

It's just homicide or suicide. It didn't look like a suicide. This is a murder case.

They did this thing to try to rat him. You killed her. She's dead.

They search the house, the attic, the car. They find nothing.

Why have the cops fixed on him? It's an easy fix and an obvious one. The first suspect is always the

spouts, right? We don't know her journey. We don't know those last minutes.

Did you do that, Matt? Did you kill your wife? What do you think?

I want to hear you say it. Why don't you feel the need for me to say that?

I'm Lester Holt and this is Deadline.

Here's Dennis Murphy with The Clearing.

She absolutely loved the woods. That's something everyone can agree on.

Deep in the forest, Emily nourished her soul in the joyous quiet.

It's where she found peace and even food for her table.

Did she also go there to escape? People here in Westerville, Ohio,

still wonder about that. It is a big mystery. I would just love to know the details.

What happened? What really happened that night?

Take a look. What do you see? For most of us, it's just a snarl of bushes and brambles.

Emily Noble saw that and something else. Maybe a salad and a soup for dinner and herbal tea.
