After her controlling husband turned physically abusive, Jennifer Corbin was looking to get out of the marriage.

What she didn't know was that 14 years before another woman tried to leave him, and the two women who never met would forever have their

names linked to this one man. I'm Charlie and welcome to crime lines. A quick look ahead at the schedule. Next week is the fifth Wednesday of the month so I will not have an episode, but if you miss me too much, you can always check out crime lines and consequences, which is available wherever you get your podcasts, or you can check out my premium content beyond the files which is on the

crime line's Patreon feed as well as Apple subscriptions.

My kids are about to wrap up the school year and with them home for the summer I cannot really make any promises about the release schedule.

Most years I've been able to stay weekly or at least only take a couple weeks off. So if there's just one week where there's no episode,

know that I traded researching true crime for a park day with my kids.

And it is what it is.

This time when their young is so fleeting, and while my husband and I have a pretty good trade-off

schedule for the summer, where one of us is working while the other's making memories, things

happen.

I definitely won't have as many hours as I usually have during the school year, so maybe I'll

just learn to be more efficient. Who knows?

I know no one else cares if I take a week off, but I do have to tell myself that it's okay to not work around the clock.

Anyway, let's go ahead and get into today's episode. All of my sources are linked, as always, but I do want to mention one at the top, and that is Anne Rooly's book, Too Late to Say Goodbye. It is one of her later full-length true crime novels

and the background information in there

was pretty important to putting together this episode.

This is one of those cases that I've been aware of but I started digging

into it and realized just how much I did not know. We are going to start with

Jennifer Corbin who was born in January of

1971 in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She grew up the middle of three girls and

she was quick with a smile and a laugh but but she was also the stereotypical middle child who did things her own way.
