She left without glasses, disappeared for two hours, and they closed the case

from True Crime Obsessed · host Obomedia Network

She left without glasses, disappeared for two hours, and the case was closed in 12 hours. Mother of two found dead in Puget Sound. But the husband said she was home when she wasn't, the only witness changed his story twice, and no one verified anything. How can a case be closed when no details match?In this episode, you will discover why every answer generated three new questions. What seemed like suicide during the chaos of COVID becomes something much more disturbing when you examine the contradictions that investigators overlooked. Gwen Hasselquist disappeared on March 19, 2020, and the following hours reveal inconsistencies that challenge everything that was assumed to be true.Case DetailsVictim: Gwen Hasselquist, 37 years old, mother of twoDate: March 19-20, 2020Location: Puget Sound and Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Washington, United StatesStatus: Case closed as suicide; partially reopened in 2024 after husband's arrest for assault- The Ring video that supposedly shows Gwen leaving alone has no verifiable timestamp; the time only appears on the husband's phone, and it was never investigated by the police- The safety glass was broken only on the passenger side, meaning Gwen was not driving the minivan when it crashed into the bridge- The husband Eric claimed at 1:00 a.m. that Gwen was home sleeping, but an hour later he reported her missing without a coherent explanation for the change- The toll cameras that would have confirmed who was driving at what time were never requested or reviewed by investigatorsHow can someone disappear on video, be found dead two hours later seven miles away, and have the case closed amid the chaos of COVID without a single verified answer?disappearance Gwen Hasselquist, Tacoma Narrows Bridge, homicide disguised as suicide, Pierce County Washington, negligent justice, contradictory evidence, unsolved crime, true crime Spanish podcastIf you want to listen to this podcast ad-free and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.
