IR VERDICT:
SUBMERGED is an intense true crime story from reporter Janice Hisle that is extensively researched and emotionally compelling. In 2008, when Ryan Widmer called 911 and reported his wife had drowned in their bathtub, it set off a sensational investigation. Hisle’s first person reporting of the case from its start, mixed with the back story of Ryan and his wife Sarah’s romance and personal history, make for a thrilling tapestry that combines passion, death and the United States justice system.
