Authorities called it an accident and closed the case. Twenty years later — after a tip from a former youth group member, a phone call from a pastor who never believed it, and an affidavit laying out an affair, a breakup two days before the trip, and a half-million-dollar insurance payout — her husband was arrested for her murder. Three days later, he was dead. Jessie traces how the case broke open in the news this week.
