Evelyn Throsby with guest reader Nadia Hatta

Everyone knew Evelyn Throsby’s fifth husband wasn’t right for her. Everyone except Evelyn that is. But what they didn’t know was that he was a conman. He used his skills to isolate Evelyn from her friends and family, steal her money, and, ultimately, kill her while keeping everyone in the dark for months. Evelyn’s murder would go on to become a landmark case in what happens when prosecutors move forward with a murder trial when a victim’s body has never been located.
