Introducing Betrayal Season 4. Karoline Borega married a man of honor – a respected Colorado Springs Police officer. She knew there would be sacrifices to accommodate her husband’s career. But she had no idea that he was using his badge to fool everyone.  

This season, we expose a man who swore two sacred oaths—one to his badge, one to his bride—and broke them both. We follow Karoline as she questions everything she thought she knew about her partner of over 20 years.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Joel Kern
was a respected lieutenant at the Colorado Springs Police Department,
but Joel used his badge to fool everyone, most of
all his wife Caroline.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
He texted back, No, everything's not okay. I've ruined our lives.
You're going to want to divorce me.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
April eleventh, twenty twenty two, the day everything changed.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
I called him and I remember just tears streaming down
my face, and I said, what did you do?

Speaker 4 (00:38):
What did you do?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
Did part of you know deep down that this was wrong?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yes, he betrayed his oath to his family and to
his community.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
She said, you left lorses, pulled their hair, that type
of thing.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
No, that man who is on that tape is not
the man I knew.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and
quite frankly, I question how many other women are out
there that may bring forward allegations in the future.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception,
on and off the clock, lies that left those closest
to him, questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to
Betrayal starting on May twenty second, on the iHeartRadio app,
