S03E22: Bad Medicine: Dirk Greineder’s Double Life

On a crisp Halloween morning in 1999, Dr. Dirk Greineder—a world-renowned allergist and pillar of the elite Wellesley community in Massachusetts—placed a frantic 911 call from the banks of Morses Pond. His wife of 31 years, Mabel "May" Greineder, had been brutally beaten, stabbed, and almost decapitated during their morning walk. Dirk told investigators that May had stopped to rest and he went on ahead, but when he returned to her, he found she had been attacked. As investigators looked past the doctor’s grief, they discovered a tangled web of secret identities, sex addiction, digital obsessions, and a "perfect" marriage that was anything but. Dirk has been incarcerated for almost 26 years and still maintains his innocence to this day.
