In season 1 episode 12 of It Takes a Killer titled "A Wife Goes Missing," we follow the case of a husband whose wife mysteriously disappears. It's a case that will take many twists and turns before it's eventually solved, providing a shocking revelation to those involved.

When Lisa Gaudenzi goes missing from her home in a quiet neighborhood in New Jersey, her husband, Ron Gaudenzi, becomes the prime suspect. Lisa's friends and family remember the happy couple, always together and in love, but when investigators start to dig deeper into their relationship, they find some troubling facts.

Ron tells investigators that his wife just walked out on him one day without any explanation, but the police find some inconsistencies in his story. They find that Ron had a mistress at the time of the disappearance, casting a shadow of suspicion on him. As investigators uncover more about Ron's past, they find that he has a history of domestic violence and anger issues.

The police begin to build their case against Ron, but with no physical evidence putting him at the scene of the crime and no body, he appears to be getting away with the perfect murder. However, one small detail was all the police needed to crack the case.

Through their investigation, the police find out that Ron had thrown away a large plastic bag on the very same day Lisa went missing. The police recover the bag and find some shocking evidence inside - a bloody rug that was in the couple’s living room.

The discovery of the bloody rug provides police with the evidence they need to arrest Ron for Lisa's murder. But even with the evidence pointing at him, Ron maintains his innocence. He tells police that he didn't kill Lisa and has no idea what happened to her.

The trial sees Ron maintain his innocence, but the evidence stacked against him proves to be overwhelming. The prosecutor argues that Ron killed his wife in a fit of jealousy after she threatened to leave him. Ron's temper had always been a point of concern for Lisa's family, and they feel that justice will only be served if he is found guilty.

The trial ends with a guilty verdict, and Ron is sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Lisa Gaudenzi. Lisa's family and friends finally have the closure they need, but they never forget the tragedy that happened to their loved one.
