Synopsis
Based on a true story, telefilm depicts how the investigation into the disappearance of Captain Shirley Gibbs Russell led to the landmark 1991 murder conviction of her husband Robert Russell. The story is told from the perspective of Joanne Jensen, a Naval Criminal Investigation Service civilian attorney whose persistence led to the first case in U.S. history in which a defendant was successfully prosecuted without the recovery of a body or other physical evidence.
