And here you've got a man that is so intelligent and is so smart, he's talked to a guy who says this is a good place to go fishing, tells him how to get there, and it takes him 12 hours to figure out that might be a place to go look for him.

Wouldn't that be the first place you would look?

And nothing really becomes contested until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

No, not at all. We do have letters that tend to indicate that there's a relationship, and I think his language is the important thing is that we be together. It stunk. It reeked.

Still... In those letters were some language which tended to indicate that they had some sort of plan to be together.

I do know that he bought the insurance.

There's a woman. There's money. And those are two of the oldest motives in the history of all time.

Flunked it.

Yep.

They don't have a confession. They've never showed us a confession. First of all, he was in school on June the 3rd, at least for part of the day. He did not have a driver's license until sometime in 1992. It took us approximately three hours to determine that this person was not a viable suspect.

He most certainly deserves every bit of those 30 years.

George Marachek was one of the best wartime soldiers the Army had ever seen, but he did not do nearly as well in peacetime.

None whatsoever. He struck her with a blunt object and drowned her.

I will always carry her in my heart. I think that's sort of the surface that George Marachek wants the world to see.

George Marachek's version of how he found the body was not the case.

This case is about a woman who knew she was going to die. And that was what the case was about.

It was the most unusual homicide I'd ever seen.

What's a murderer look like?

this murderer left few hints she was sitting on the bottom of the river she had been completely stripped of everything no crime scene and no murder weapon either and at first no clear motive but they certainly had a suspect they pretty much focused on marachek because from the very beginning they can tell he wasn't being truthful with him about what he was saying about his wife's disappearance what you're saying and what we see are two different things well
