She Built Two Cradles: The Amy Coleman Bigamy Case

She Built Two Cradles: The Amy Coleman Bigamy Case A handcrafted cradle, dry and smelling of fresh sawdust and linseed oil, sat upright between pines after nine consecutive subfreezing days - a finished piece that could not have weathered the cold intact unless it had been placed there recently. The cradle was commissioned twice with identical dimensions and bore a lining marked "Christine" hidden from view; who made the switch, and why was the cradle left in an unmapped stand of pines? In this episode, we tell how a found wooden cradle led from a trailhead discovery to the unraveling of a double life, following the physical evidence, communications, and timelines that exposed parallel marriages and a carefully maintained swap system; could the cradle itself be the clue that revealed who Amy Coleman really was?
