Eleven days of marriage, a perfect murder at the bottom of the ocean: The death of Tina Watson on the YongalaA certified rescue diver watches his wife sink 24 meters deep and does not attempt to save her. His regulator is functioning. His tank has air. He ascends alone without activating any of the three emergency protocols he knows.In this episode, we explore how a dive computer contradicts every detail of Gabe Watson's account, why he changed his story 16 different times, and how he tried to increase a life insurance policy that his father-in-law secretly blocked weeks before their Australian honeymoon.
