The last time anyone saw 49-year-old Emily Anderson was December 29, 2005. And as her husband, Jerry Anderson, was naturally the first suspect. But he seemed to be able to account for his time that day and he passed a polygraph. After an anonymous call, Emily’s body was discovered on January 7, 2006. As the investigation ramped up, police found that the Andersons' marriage was on the rocks and Jerry had recently taken out more life insurance on his wife. Part 1 of 2.
