On April 20th 2012, Gerard Baden-Clay phoned the police at 7.15am in Brisbane, Australia, to report his wife Allison Baden-Clay as missing. The officers arrived at the family home and Gerard opened the door dressed in a suit, tie and cufflinks. His put together outfit did nothing to hide the scratch marks on his right cheek. 

This episode explores what happened to Allison Baden-Clay and discusses the subsequent investigation and trial that followed the discovery of her body.
