0:00.0	When did you learn the perfect family had a deep, dark secret?
0:05.0	My next-door neighbor, husband, wife and their two young girls, and my neighbors down the road,
0:10.0	husband, wife and three young girls, were the best of friends and did everything together.
0:15.0	They went on vacations together, they went out to dinner together, they even bought a timeshare together.

1:10.4	When we moved back in, they started
1:11.9	taking business trips and they eventually got caught. The wife of the next door neighbors was willing
