Alan Rarick was found dead in a parking lot in Oklahoma. He'd been shot twice, once to the head. He appears to have been there for a few days. He's partly decomposed. It was a baffling tragedy, one you would imagine would have devastated his wife, Sandra Bridewell. But as investigators started to piece together the case, a far more frightening set of circumstances came to light.

She was either the black widow or bad luck. I don't know which. Soon, people began to wonder, who was Sandra Bridewell? These guys didn't really see her coming. And she had the charm to charm men, any man. This is the unbelievable story of a femme fatale with a trail of bodies in her wake and a lifetime of deception that has never been fully aired until now. If something ever happened to me, then they would know who did it.

From Sony Music Entertainment, this is Fatal Beauty. Coming April 1st to the binge. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
