## Resource

Karen Waltz thought she’d found her Prince Charming in Scott Rosten, a suave chiropractor who swept her into a whirlwind romance. Following a spontaneous Vegas wedding, the couple embarked on a dream honeymoon cruise aboard the Star Dancer. But as the ship neared Los Angeles on Valentine’s Day, the fantasy shattered: Karen vanished into the dark, cold Pacific. Scott’s explanation, a bizarre tale of Israeli commandos and international espionage, leaves investigators baffled. Beneath the surface of their "perfect" marriage lies a trail of synthetic diamonds and carefully constructed facades. Was this a tragic accident or a sinister betrayal? --------------------------------------------------------- Don't forget to subscribe to the Casefile Confidential podcast Two chilling episodes will be released every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. ---------------------------------------------------------- Visit tonysale.com for original case files, in-depth articles on unsolved and forgotten crimes, and a collection of books that dig deep into the world’s darkest chapters.
