Summary
The episode recounts the disappearance of Ji Mengqi in the United States. Suspicion gradually focused on her husband, Joe Elledge, due to inconsistent statements and violent recordings. After her remains were discovered, plant DNA evidence linked him to the burial site. He was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 28 years in prison. Hosted on Acast.
