[Vanessa] Bet He's Arrested

This week survivor Vanessa shares her story.

Vanessa met Cody while working at a local bar and their relationship moved quickly. After only a few weeks together, Vanessa found out she was pregnant and with her Catholic upbringing, they decided to get married. Cody was in charge of the budgeting and making sure all their bills were paid and once Vanessa discovered strange transactions on their accounts, she was sent down a spiral of false stories that lead her straight to Cody’s ex-wife, Emily.
