Bridge of Lies

by ABC News

On a December night in a small town on the Jersey shore, the discovery of an abandoned car on a bridge touches off a search for the missing driver. 19-year-old Sarah Stern, an aspiring artist, has seemingly vanished. Friends tell authorities she might have jumped, or fled to Canada. But troubling statements, omissions and the discovery of a partially-burned cache of money doesn’t sit right with investigators. As they begin to suspect foul-play, an up-and-coming filmmaker’s daring undercover sting operation cracks the case wide open. A six-part series from 20/20 and ABC Audio, hosted by Juju Chang.

Off to a great start, love the host voice and score - so many goosebumps and the start of a real mystery. Can’t wait for the next episode.

Podguy12 · Mar 2026

Could be great! The story is interesting but there are so many commercials and the story hardly moves each episode. The smaller, less well known podcasts are better as they actually have content and the story moves along each episode. Typical large news station podcast.
