This episode of Verified serves as a trailer for Stolen Hearts, a new podcast from Wondery and Novel. The preview introduces Jill Evans, a police sergeant in Haverford West, Wales, who has professional success but a string of failed engagements. She meets Dean Jenkins online, a self-proclaimed entrepreneur whose business is deliberately vague. After a whirlwind courtship that includes a spontaneous trip to Italy paid for with bags of cash, Jill becomes pregnant and they plan a life together. The preview then jumps to the night after Halloween, when Jill receives a text that threatens her happiness, career, and freedom. A dramatic scene follows from the perspective of Jill's neighbors, who watch police raid her home 72 hours after a man is shot dead nearby. The episode also includes a clip from the first episode of Stolen Hearts, setting the scene in Haverford West and establishing the quiet, ordinary nature of the town as a contrast to the extraordinary events. The podcast is available on Amazon Music for Prime members.
