My husband Kevin | 9

Elise says she lived with a man who had many sides. A charming, romantic, funny husband, who would turn into a controlling, stonewalling, cruel stranger at the flip of a switch.

Then there were the threats. Eerily specific threats of violence, threats of murder.

Next, she alleges, came the actual violence.

Years after they’d separated, she heard her ex-husband was a key suspect in the murder of 23-year-old Rachelle Childs.

Dear Rachelle is hosted and investigated by journalist Ashlea Hansen, who teams up with retired detective and cold case specialist Damian Loone, and Rachelle’s sister Kristy.
