Chapter 1: Who is Jack Boyle and why is he calling?
Hello, this is a prepaid debit call from Jack Boyle, an inmate at the Marion Correctional Institution.
To accept this call... Hey, Jack, can you hear me?
Yes, yes, I hear you.
Okay. Jack Boyle and I have been speaking regularly for several months. I sometimes wonder why he makes the effort. I ask a lot of intrusive questions.
So what did you think when you learned that Sherry was pregnant? Well, I was kind of surprised. She was on birth control pills.

Chapter 2: What is the relationship between Jack Boyle and Collier?
Still, Jack keeps calling. He also emails me via the prison's messaging system, GTL, and via the post office, sends documents and photos of himself in prison. It seems he has things to tell me. He mentions, among other things, that he wants to come clean. But I know there's another reason he's in touch. Maybe the real reason. Jack knows I'm speaking to Collier.
And Jack, he still wants to be a father to his son.
He used to sleep on the floor next to his crib. You know, all those kind of nervous father things. He was a good baby, a good young man. And I expect he still is. I still wanted to have a relationship as my son and a father. I always wanted that. I want that to this moment.
But Collier hasn't responded to an email from Jack in 16 years. And this moment right now is complicated. Jack has been behind bars for almost 35 years. Jack is up for parole later this year. He's already been denied twice. He'll be 82 when he sees the parole board. This may be his final chance. And Jack is convinced that Collier holds the key to his freedom.
Chapter 3: What are Jack Boyle's intentions for contacting Collier?
His input as a victim's son of the victim, child of the mother killed, you know, it's important stuff.
You think it really all comes down to Collier at this point?
Yeah, I really do, yeah. Yeah.
You have one minute remaining.
And don't forget, the last picture I sent you, would you scan it to Collier?
Yes, definitely, I will.
Tell him I said hello and I love him.
I sure will.
Thank you for using GTL.

Chapter 4: What is Jack Boyle's version of the events on the night Noreen disappeared?
What starts as an investigation into a missing persons case explodes into a story of manipulation, coercion, prostitution, and human trafficking, all orchestrated behind a curated social media facade.

Hi, Georgia.
Hi, David. What do you think the world needs more of?
Well, the world always needs more podcasts. Didn't you used to have a podcast? Not only did I used to have a podcast, Georgia. It's coming back. David Tennant does a podcast with Season 3. It's coming at you. Okay, and who are your guests? Who are my guests? What about Russell T. Davis? What about Jamila Jamil? What about Stanley the Tooch Toochy?
Yeah.
Come, join me. David Tennant does a podcast with.
Bye.
At this point, Jack Boyle and I have spoken for hours and hours. My wife isn't thrilled that I spend so much time chatting with a convicted wife killer. But if someone wants to understand what really happened, you have to talk to Jack. Jack is the black hole at the center of this story. For years, people who followed this murder talked and talked about Jack. But Jack, he wouldn't talk to anyone.

Chapter 5: How did Jack Boyle handle the aftermath of Noreen's death?
She started, you know, ranting and raving about she didn't like Mansfield, she didn't like this town. She should have never left Philadelphia. She should have never married me, you know. And, of course, I was adding more logs to the fire. I said, well, I guess you're right. You shouldn't have married me.
Jack says he was surprised by Noreen's intense anger. Their relationship was frosty, not heated.
The cake knife. She could have grabbed the fork, but I'm pretty sure she grabbed the cake knife and waved it in front of him.
A cake knife is pretty much a butter knife, blunt and rounded. So Noreen is up now, waving the cake knife. Jack sits on the couch below her, then stands up. He's 6'3", she's 5'4".
And that's when I pushed her away from me. And I backpedaled off the sofa and hit the floor. And of course, she went the other direction. There was another chair off on the side, a single chair with a footstool, and that's what she hit her head on. That footstool.
A heavy wooden footstool. Now, according to Jack, Noreen is lying motionless on the floor. So what does Dr. Jack Boyle think?
I said, I got to get out of here. I went up to grab my little gym bag. I didn't know where I was going to go. Probably go back to my office and sleep on a chair or something. So I was upstairs probably 10 minutes, maybe 15 minutes.
And then what happens? You come down and what?
She was right there on the floor where I left her. And I said, oh my God, now what?
