About this listen

Inside a beautiful house in Philadelphia's ritzy Main Line section lay the body of a young mother - dead of an apparent drowning in her bathtub. With no sign of a break-in, no history of marital problems, and the naïve belief that these things sometimes just happen, Stefanie Rabinowitz's family prepared to bury the 29-year-old wife and mother. But at the 11th hour, because Stefanie was so young, and because there were no witnesses to her death, an autopsy was ordered. And what it revealed was unthinkable: Stefanie had been murdered - strangled in her home, then dragged into the tub to stage a fake drowning. Even more shocking was the suspected killer - Stefanie's 34-year-old husband, Craig: devoted family man, loyal husband, and "everybody's best friend".

When the astounding truth began to emerge, so did the tawdry double life of Craig Rabinowitz, a man so obsessed with a $2,000-a-week exotic dancer that his habit caused him to look to the insurance money he would get from murdering his wife. Now, with exclusive interviews and startling inside details, best-selling author Ken Englade blows wide open the shocking true account of a storybook marriage that ended in bone-chilling murder.

Contains mature themes.

What a story!!
Thank you for bringing this fascinating story to us.
With just ordinary people like the ones you have next door as the principle stars, this tale of deceit, selfishness and disregard is almost unbelievable were it not true.
Makes you realise…just who is that person you think is just an everyday person…..like the one Nextdoor????
Who are they really?????

Fascinating story

The story itself is good, and well put together, but the narrator sounds like he is trying to tell a children’s bedtime story. It becomes very annoying to listen to.

Good story, irritating narrator
