About this episode

A Wisconsin judge sentences a husband and father to twice the amount of time recommended after he duped authorities and his family into believing he drowned while kayaking at a lake, all so he could make a new life overseas with an Eastern European woman. Amy and T.J. go over the bizarre, yet fascinating details of the story and how authorities were finally able to track him down and pay for his crime.
