Jill Evans has it all, a big house,
0:02
fast car, and a great career as
0:04
a decorated police sergeant in Wales.
0:07
But when it comes to love, she can never
0:09
seem to get things right. And after
0:11
multiple failed engagements, Jill is
0:13
starting to think it's never going to happen for
0:15
her. That is until she connects
0:17
online with a charming, handsome, and
0:20
successful man named Dean Jenkins.
0:22
He's a self proclaimed entrepreneur with
0:24
a business that's a bit of a mystery.
0:26
After a few days, they go on a
0:28
spontaneous holiday to Italy and
0:31
deem paste with bags full of
0:33
cash. From the outside, there may be
0:35
some red flags, but Jill
0:37
doesn't care. He's the one.
0:39
In just six months in, Jill finds
0:41
out she's pregnant. And they make plans to spend
0:44
the rest of their lives together. But the night
0:46
after Halloween, Jill receives a
0:48
shocking text that will change everything.
0:50
And what she reads threatens to take away
0:52
her dreams of happiness, her career,
0:55
and maybe even her freedom. Wondery
0:57
in novels new podcast, Dolan Hearts,
0:59

1:01
and and how opposites really
1:04
do attract. I'm about to play a clip

Like a lot of small towns in the UK,
1:26
have a food west manages to be both
1:28
charmingly quaint and slightly
1:30
depressing. It's in Wales
1:33
about a hundred miles from the capital Cardiff,
1:36
It's a small community nestled in
1:38
the countryside, the sort of place
1:40
where medieval churches mix with empty
1:42
shops and greasy kebab Hernan. But
1:45
for those that are born there, many
1:47
choose not to leave. Because
1:49
despite the slightly rundown high street,
1:52
It's the kind of place that you can get on with
1:54
your life without too much
1:55
fuss. It's very quiet.
1:58
It's peaceful. It's close
2:00
to the sea. And where
2:02
we live is just your bog
2:04
standard
2:05
residential cul de sac
2:08
and Nothing out of the ordinary
2:10
ever tends to happen. And
2:13
Sam, one of the fifteen thousand residents
2:15
in Haverford West, loves that
2:17
about this place. Except
2:20
today, that's going
2:22
to change. It's
2:26
the third of November two thousand and
2:28
six. And Halloween has come
2:30
and gone. Leftover pumpkins dot
2:32
across doorways unsmashed, un
2:34
bothered. It's
2:36
getting late as Sam winds her way through
2:39
the dark roads lined with trees and fields
2:41
leading up to her own quiet street.
2:44
The headlights start sketch images
2:46
of an unusual sight ahead of her,
2:48
strangers on her road, lots
2:50
of them, and they're all in uniforms.
2:54
Wow. There are just police cars everywhere
2:56
here, lined up both sides of
2:58
the road.
3:00
But
3:00
she doesn't stop and stay because it's none
3:03
of our business. What's going on? I
3:05
went into my house, chopped
3:07
off my work gear, Pattin my uniform,
3:09
or chopped in the wash and things. Hernan
3:14
husband though, well, he
3:16
can't resist. I hear my husband
3:19
shout Quick come quick come look at
3:21
the window. They're searching Jill's
3:23
house. Sam
3:27
and her husband are not the only showing
3:29
neighborly concern. Like
3:32
you see neighbors just peering around
3:35
corners and peeping over fences. Everybody
3:38
could see everything open, all
3:40
the curtains, every blind officer
3:43
is rifling through all of her things
3:45
pulling out bids and pieces from everywhere
3:48
picking things apart, upstairs,
3:51
downstairs. The housing
3:53
question belongs to a police officer.
3:56
A neighbor everyone in the road knows.
3:59
Sergeant Jill Evans. The
4:01
gossip was just off like wildfire
4:03
through the streets. And who could blame
4:05
them. I mean, a raid like this in
4:07
their town, and for a police
4:09
officer, no less. It's been a
4:11
long time since anything this excite happened
4:14
in Half a Foot
4:15
West. And Sam's husband
4:17
has a theory as to what or who
4:19
might be behind the commotion. He said,
4:21
I wonder if it's him. And
4:24
I said, what do you mean him? He said,
4:26
well, the guy she was with, I Wondery
4:28
if it's something to do with him. And
4:31
I said, well, gosh it
4:33
could be.
4:35
It's been seventy two hours since
4:37
a man was shot dead. And the
4:39
trail has led the police to Jill's
4:41
door. A trail lined with
4:43
tens of thousands of pounds, broken
4:46
hearts, and Shower gel.
4:50
Havaford West has never seen anything
4:53
like it. But the truth is
4:55
that this little town is about to witness
4:57
one of the greatest and strangest
5:00
love stories the world has ever known.
