Shownotes Transcript
I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Joel Kern was a respected lieutenant at the Colorado Springs Police Department. But Joel used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife Caroline. He texted back, April 11th, 2022, the day everything changed.
I called him and I remember just tears streaming down my face. And I said, what did you do? What did you do? Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. Did part of you know deep down that this was wrong? Yes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. That man who is on that tape is not the man I knew.
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies. And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception on and off the clock. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew.
