Episode 4 – Sex, Lies and Videotape

The court hears Chris Dawson’s story in his own words as video of his first and only police interview on the topic of his wife’s disappearance is played in full. His brother, Peter Dawson, remembers the crucial weeks and months following Lynette Dawson’s disappearance and a teenage co-worker of JC recounts a frightening encounter with Chris Dawson, who allegedly warned him to stay away from JC. And this decades-old cold case hits a very modern road bump thanks to COVID-19.
