Introducing Betrayal Season 4. Karoline Borega married a man of honor – a respected Colorado Springs Police officer. She knew there would be sacrifices to accommodate her husband’s career. But she had no idea that he was using his badge to fool everyone.   This season, we expose a man who swore two sacred oaths—one to his badge, one to his bride—and broke them both. We follow Karoline as she questions everything she thought she knew about her partner of over 20 years.  If you would like to reach out to the Betrayal Team, email us at [email protected] and follow us on Instagram at @betrayalpod   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
