Jill Evans has it all, a big house,

0:02

fast car, and a great career as

0:04

a decorated police sergeant in Wales.

0:07

But when it comes to love, she can never

0:09

seem to get things right. And after

0:11

multiple failed engagements, Jill is

0:13

starting to think it's never going to happen for

0:15

her. That is until she connects

0:17

online with a charming, handsome, and

0:20

successful man named Dean Jenkins.

0:22

He's a self proclaimed entrepreneur with

0:24

a business that's a bit of a mystery.

0:26

After a few days, they go on a

0:28

spontaneous holiday to Italy and

0:31

deem paste with bags full of

0:33

cash. From the outside, there may be

0:35

some red flags, but Jill

0:37

doesn't care. He's the one.

0:39

In just six months in, Jill finds

0:41

out she's pregnant. And they make plans to spend

0:44

the rest of their lives together. But the night

0:46

after Halloween, Jill receives a

0:48

shocking text that will change everything.

0:50

And what she reads threatens to take away

0:52

her dreams of happiness, her career,

0:55

and maybe even her freedom. Wondery

0:57

in novels new podcast, Dolan Hearts,

0:59

tells the intricate love story of Jill

1:01

and and how opposites really

1:04

do attract. I'm about to play a clip

1:06

1:24

Like a lot of small towns in the UK,

1:26

have a food west manages to be both

1:28

charmingly quaint and slightly

1:30

depressing. It's in Wales

1:33

about a hundred miles from the capital Cardiff,

1:36

It's a small community nestled in

1:38

the countryside, the sort of place

1:40

where medieval churches mix with empty

1:42

shops and greasy kebab Hernan. But

1:45

for those that are born there, many

1:47

choose not to leave. Because

1:49

despite the slightly rundown high street,

1:52

It's the kind of place that you can get on with

1:54

your life without too much

1:55

fuss. It's very quiet.

1:58

It's peaceful. It's close

2:00

to the sea. And where

2:02

we live is just your bog

2:04

standard

2:05

residential cul de sac

2:08

and Nothing out of the ordinary

2:10

ever tends to happen. And

2:13

Sam, one of the fifteen thousand residents

2:15

in Haverford West, loves that

2:17

about this place. Except

2:20

today, that's going

2:22

to change. It's

2:26

the third of November two thousand and

2:28

six. And Halloween has come

2:30

and gone. Leftover pumpkins dot

2:32

across doorways unsmashed, un

2:34

bothered. It's

2:36

getting late as Sam winds her way through

2:39

the dark roads lined with trees and fields

2:41

leading up to her own quiet street.

2:44

The headlights start sketch images

2:46

of an unusual sight ahead of her,

2:48

strangers on her road, lots

2:50

of them, and they're all in uniforms.

2:54

Wow. There are just police cars everywhere

2:56

here, lined up both sides of

2:58

the road.

3:00

But

3:00

she doesn't stop and stay because it's none

3:03

of our business. What's going on? I

3:05

went into my house, chopped

3:07

off my work gear, Pattin my uniform,

3:09

or chopped in the wash and things. Hernan

3:14

husband though, well, he

3:16

can't resist. I hear my husband

3:19

shout Quick come quick come look at

3:21

the window. They're searching Jill's

3:23

house. Sam

3:27

and her husband are not the only showing

3:29

neighborly concern. Like

3:32

you see neighbors just peering around

3:35

corners and peeping over fences. Everybody

3:38

could see everything open, all

3:40

the curtains, every blind officer

3:43

is rifling through all of her things

3:45

pulling out bids and pieces from everywhere

3:48

picking things apart, upstairs,

3:51

downstairs. The housing

3:53

question belongs to a police officer.

3:56

A neighbor everyone in the road knows.

3:59

Sergeant Jill Evans. The

4:01

gossip was just off like wildfire

4:03

through the streets. And who could blame

4:05

them. I mean, a raid like this in

4:07

their town, and for a police

4:09

officer, no less. It's been a

4:11

long time since anything this excite happened

4:14

in Half a Foot

4:15

West. And Sam's husband

4:17

has a theory as to what or who

4:19

might be behind the commotion. He said,

4:21

I wonder if it's him. And

4:24

I said, what do you mean him? He said,

4:26

well, the guy she was with, I Wondery

4:28

if it's something to do with him. And

4:31

I said, well, gosh it

4:33

could be.

4:35

It's been seventy two hours since

4:37

a man was shot dead. And the

4:39

trail has led the police to Jill's

4:41

door. A trail lined with

4:43

tens of thousands of pounds, broken

4:46

hearts, and Shower gel.

4:50

Havaford West has never seen anything

4:53

like it. But the truth is

4:55

that this little town is about to witness

4:57

one of the greatest and strangest

5:00

love stories the world has ever known.
