Couples in love make promises, in sickness and in health, to have and to hold. But when the past catches up to you, a couple can find the real meaning of the phrase, love you to death.
When she was found, they were planning a wedding. And then that wedding was less than 48 hours away.
Never would have thought that I would have been going to her funeral that next week instead of her wedding. Never would have thought it.
She come in the door and she said, I'm here to get a marriage license. A lot of things happened after that. I don't want to cry.
Hours away from becoming a bride, Molly Watson's story takes a tragic turn when a stranger makes a discovery on a country road.
April 27th of 2018, it was a Friday night.
Glenn McSparran is taking a shortcut from his mother's home there in Monroe County.
Didn't really think nothing of it, just a typical night. It's remote. It's really grown up. You're driving in between trees and horseweeds down to the creek. You got to turn as you go down into it and go across it because the road kind of curves.

Chapter 2: Who was Molly Watson?
Glenn McSparran had a brief verbal exchange with this older white male, and the other individual indicated that Glenn needed to go around a different way.
So I just backed my truck up a little bit and went back to the west. The more I thought about it, I was like, that's just, it's not right. I talked to my mom and my brother for a minute, and I told them, I said, I'm going to go back through there.
On his way back just 30 minutes later, a horrific scene, a body in his headlights.
I stayed in my truck, and I called 911.
I don't know what the hell's going on here.
They wanted me to make sure if she was alive or not.
Ma'am. Ma'am. Oh, my God. I don't think she's alive, no.
I seen if she was cold to the touch or if she had a pulse, and she did not. And I looked in her eyes, and I could tell that she was gone.
Her eyes are open. I swear to God, she's dead.

Chapter 3: What led to the discovery of Molly's body?
Is it so implausible that one fiance has a shirt that belonged to their fiance?
As far as your marriage with James Addy, can you describe it for the jury?
Testifying next, the woman James Addy allegedly said was dead, his now ex-wife Melanie Addy. She filed for divorce soon after his arrest.
It was good sometimes. It was bad sometimes. I thought we both tried to make it work.
You were called to testify. How hard was that?
It's horrible. It's just horrible. You don't want to be there. I don't want to be in a position where I'm hurting him. I don't want to do that.
So in April of 2018, were you still married to Mr. Addy and living in that same home? Yes. Did you have any plans to divorce at that point?
No. He'd always been very hard on me about you, you know, how a wife should act and how a wife should be. And then he did this. He had an affair and that's okay. No, we were done. We were done.
James Addy didn't react to his ex-wife taking the stand, but everybody else did. Anybody watching was riveted.
