Deep Cover (Season 6) is #1 on Apple Charts!

Sarah Cavanaugh was many things: a decorated veteran. A Marine who saved her comrades from a burning Humvee. A young woman fighting stage-4 lung cancer. She was stoic, humble, tough. She was the commander of her VFW post. Charities rallied to support her. Her life inspired country ballads—literally.  She was a hero.  Sarah was everything people wanted her to be—until she wasn’t. 

This season is about a betrayal writ large. An epic deception that played out over the course of more than six years – in Montana, but in Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, California, and Rhode Island too. Military officials, charities, friends, gym buddies, country music artists, a legendary fitness guru, a spouse, and a lover—so many were deceived. They thought they knew a woman named Sarah Cavanaugh. In some ways, they were right. But in very important ways, they didn’t know her at all. And what they didn’t know would come back to haunt them.    

Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Jake Halpern and acclaimed investigative journalist Jess McHugh unravel this epic deception in the sixth season of Deep Cover. Interviewing all the major players—including Sarah herself—they tell a sprawling, haunting story that remains, to this day, shrouded in mystery. There was never a trial. And until now, most of those involved have never spoken publicly in any depth.
