About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode When David Cole, episode 376 of Sword and Scale, covers the disappearance of David Cole and the breakdown of the stories told by those closest to him. When Cole vanished, the people nearest to him seemed to know very little about where he had gone. As detectives dug deeper into the home he shared with his son and daughter-in-law, Brittany, the accounts they had given began to fall apart under scrutiny.
The episode follows the investigative process as inconsistencies emerge, tracing how the stories offered by the family members closest to David Cole failed to hold together once examined more closely by detectives looking into his disappearance.
