Reprehensible: Susan and Jimmy Grund

The Grunds of Peru, Indiana were a couple people just couldn’t help but notice. Susan was a glamorous younger wife, Jim a high-powered atty. Together they made a dashing couple and had all the trappings of wealth: a beautiful home, fancy trips, a Cessna airplane, designer duds and the best that money could buy. But behind closed doors the marriage was threatened by infidelity, financial arguments and one member of the couple’s dark secrets.
