Is It Possible to Finally Find Bonnie Lee Shultz?! #treucrime #crimejunkie #unsolvedmysteries | Forensic Files

But I have an interesting one for you today. One where I ask you to put aside old tropes and quick judgments and
listen all the way to the end of the story. Because you might just find the thing that I've come to learn over the
years that when you go beyond the surface level of a case, things are never as simple as they appear. Because
this case on its surface seems like one that you might have heard before. A tragic tale as old as true crime. Woman
tells her husband she wants a divorce. Woman goes missing. and husband does and says all the wrong things which make
everyone around him think he is oh so guilty of a crime they just can't prove even happened. He eventually dies under
a cloud of suspicion and the case is still unsolved. But if the husband did it and it was
that obvious, why couldn't police make their case? So for just a moment, I want us all to consider something. What if
the reason this case hasn't been solved isn't because answers went with her husband to the grave? What if it's
because nobody ever looked for the answers in the right place? And if we could step back and reconsider what we
think we know, is it possible to finally find Bonnie Lee Schultz?
