Plot Synopsis

The fourth installment in the Hallmark "Chronicle Mysteries" TV movie franchise. For the latest installment of her true-crime podcast "Recovered," Alex McPherson, now Managing Editor of The Chronicle, takes on the case of Elliot Burke, who was found dead and floating in his swimming pool by a neighbor. Alex's best friend Katie is the defense attorney for Burke's wife Stephanie, with whom he was in the middle of contentious divorce proceedings, and who has been charged with his murder. Having argued with her estranged husband the day of his death, and officially the last person to see him alive, Stephanie Burke seems a shoo-in for conviction. Certain, however, that her client is innocent, Katie hopes that a potential witness, a woman named Claire, can be located. The Chronicle's Editor, Drew Godfrey jumps right in to help Alex, knowing that perhaps justice will not be served unless Claire is found and shares what she knows. While this mysterious Claire eludes them, Alex and Drew interview what is a growing list of suspects and the more they dig, the more they discover about Elliot Burke's secret life. A coded logbook of big debts leads her closer to the truth, but unless she can figure out the code name for Burke's largest debtor, Stephanie Burke will likely be convicted while the real murderer - who has been hiding in plain sight all along - will escape justice
