Talbot Farber, a popular and successful Albuquerque businessman, lost his beloved wife thirteen years ago. There was a fire aboard the ship during their fifth-anniversary cruise. Several people went overboard in the melee; Jenna Farber was the only one whose body was never recovered. Years passed, she was declared legally dead, and Talbot went ahead with his life, raising their young daughter on his own. Now, he tells Charlie and Ron, he has spotted Jenna alive and well in the Denver airport. He begs them to find her, his excitement palpable as he believes he didn’t lose her after all. But what’s really going on? The deeper they dig, the more complicated the story becomes. Is Talbot’s sighting merely wishful thinking or is Jenna Farber actually still alive? And, if so, why didn’t she return home during all this time?
