"Foundation Of Lies"
When the wife of a noted doctor goes missing, authorities
believe it may have to do with an
allegedly shady adoption ring. But
then her husband goes house-shopping
with another woman claiming to be
his wife, and a friend finds a strange
pile of concrete in his backyard.
Investigators use the concrete and
the hazy recollections of a young
child in an attempt to find the missing
woman.
