When a wealthy low country power couple confronts their financial manager over missing funds,

they vanish from their island retreat.

Embezzlement is just the beginning.

Unanswered questions haunt a tale of money, murder, and suicide in this episode of Last Seen Alive is brought to you by Audible, my go-to source for true crime audio books.

During our last episode, I told you guys I was listening to Unanswered Cries by Thomas French and shared how the story of Karen's murder really struck me.

Since then, I've finished listening to the book, and now I want to highlight another facet of what made it so

interesting to me, and that's the relationship between the detective assigned to the case and the

murderer.

You see, they were friends, really good friends.

The detective even officiated the murderer's wedding.

I promise this isn't a spoiler because this relationship is revealed up front in the book's blurb.

I couldn't wait to tell you guys about it because it's a wild ride and it's all true.

I'm pretty sure anyone interested in true crime would be hooked by the true story of a detective realizing one of his best friends had committed a brutal murder seemingly out of the blue. So I definitely recommend giving it a listen. If you go to audible trial.com slash last seen alive, you can activate a free 30-day trial and download the audio book of your choice,

I think I need to download the book, too.

And you know what else? The murderer is a firefighter.

Oh!

Now I really need to listen. A firefighter EMT.

It's a really crazy story.

And you don't have to download it because I already have it in our Audible.

You can just listen to it.

You told me when we were coming down here that this case was a doozy.
