For years, there were no answers, until a welfare check uncovered a devastating truth that no one expected…

In January 1994, a hiker near Muir Beach, California, made a grisly discovery—a woman's body, wrapped in a sleeping bag, dumped off a coastal cliffside. The victim was Sopha Wonggoun, a mother of two and eight months pregnant. The suspect? Her husband, Technical Sergeant Saner Wonggoun of Travis Air Force Base. Within days of the murder, TSgt Wonggoun vanished—leaving behind his children, his uniform, and a stunned military community.
