This is Episode 3 — the final episode of this series. Jenaé Noel sits down with me for a live interview and tells her story in her own words. She was one of Nature Boy's former wives, the woman who reported him to authorities, and the key witness whose testimony sent him to prison for life. If you have not watched Episodes 1 and 2 yet, start there first.
