The Hunting Wives

Sophie arrives at her house at around three o’clock in the morning but decides to go for a run on the nearby trail in the woods to settle herself. Afterward, she heads inside to shower and make breakfast for her family.

The next day, it is unclear if Graham knows how late Sophie came home, but he is distant and cold toward her. Eventually, he confronts her, telling her that he heard her come in at dawn. This prompted him to go through her phone and read her text conversations with Margot. He asks Sophie whether she is being unfaithful to him, and she denies it. She explains that Margot and some of the others do have sex with other men, but she asserts that she would never do something like that. She offers to stop socializing with Margot and the other women entirely. He is somewhat mollified but remains unhappy.

Later that night, Sophie is watching the local news when she hears that Abby has been reported missing and has not been seen since the previous evening. On that particular evening, Abby and Brad had dinner with her parents. Brad now claims that he drove Abby home after the dinner (separately from her parents) and dropped her off in the driveway; however, she was not in her room the following morning.
