The Officer’s Wife Examines 2016 Shooting in Small-Town Georgia

Tegna announced the launch of  The Officer’s Wife, a six-episode podcast series by Tegna’s Vault Studios. The podcast tells the story of the 2016 shooting of Jessica Boynton in a small town in Georgia. Produced in partnership with 11Alive (WXIA), Tegna’s NBC affiliate in Atlanta which originally investigated the case, The Officer’s Wife tells what really happened the night two gunshots rang out in Boynton’s home.

“The revelations, evidence, and accusations that come to light during the investigation point to two drastically differing versions of what really happened,” said Brendan Keefe, host of The Officer’s Wife and chief investigative reporter at 11Alive. “Did Jessica Boynton survive a suicide attempt, or was she the victim of an attempted murder gone wrong? Listeners will find that this case goes far deeper than the results of the official investigation.”

The first two episodes of are available now on all major podcast platforms, and on TEGNA-owned digital sites.
