About this episode

The episode explores the complex case of Robert Atrops, whose actions during his wife's disappearance raise questions of guilt and innocence amidst flawed evidence.

Robert Atrops called police repeatedly the night his wife disappeared. Prosecutors called his actions suspicious, but the defense says they were simply the moves of a worried husband. Add in evolving memories, flawed forensic interpretation, and a second man’s DNA found inside the victim, and this case becomes far more complicated than a simple narrative of guilt. But will the jury decide?
