However, their happily-ever-after story took a dark and deadly turn.

Julie Ann was a stay-at-home mom who had dreams of becoming a professional dancer. George was a police officer who had a reputation for being a tough guy. Despite their different backgrounds, the two had a lot in common, including their love for scuba diving. George got Julie Ann into diving, and the two enjoyed exploring the depths of the ocean together.

Their love for diving ultimately brought them together with a man named James Martinez. The three had planned a dive trip together in the Florida Keys. However, things took a dramatic turn when George found incriminating text messages on Julie Ann's phone from Martinez. George became enraged and accused Martinez of trying to seduce his wife. In a fit of anger, George shot and killed Martinez. Julie Ann helped bury the body and concocted a story that Martinez had unexpectedly left the area.

George's job as a cop helped him navigate the investigation into Martinez's disappearance without being caught. However, their crime would not go unnoticed forever. It wasn't until Julie Ann's fourth husband, Jimmie Joste, was murdered that investigators began to unravel the couple's dark secrets.
