I'm Carol Fisher, and I'm hosting a podcast called The Girlfriends, a show about a group of women who all have one thing in common. All of us have this scarlet letter of, I dated a murderer. Yeah. Back in the 1990s in Las Vegas, a few of us dated the same guy, Bob.

He was amazing on paper, a doctor, a pilot. He spoke several languages. He did medical missionary work and he was Jewish and it was just how much better could it get? After we took our turns dating Bob, we did what girlfriends do. We debriefed. But it quickly became apparent that I knew something my friends did not.

She said, oh, you obviously don't know about the skeletons in his closet. And I go, what skeletons in the closet? Bob had a big secret. His first wife, Gail, apparently walked out of their apartment in 1985 and was never seen again. It's like there was just something always off me.

Before too long, we had formed a club dedicated to bitching about Bob, eating noodles, and figuring out what happened to Gail. It was all just gossip. Until the prosecutors came knocking and our little club became part of a multi-state investigation. Oh.

There's no body, no forensics, no admissions, an extremely difficult circumstantial case based in large part on things that the defendant had said to his girlfriends. Nearly 30 years later, I'm going back to talk to all those girlfriends to find out everything Bob did and how he got away with it. He dated the entire Jewish professional community. Run, run, girlfriend, run.

She told me that he was mad and he tried to drown the cat. I thought to myself, I'm lucky to be alive. And then I kept thinking, who else did he hurt? I would call him and I would say, I know you killed my sister. I will always hound you and haunt you.
