Relationships, especially marriages often turn out to be different than how they seem from the outside, and this is what the new Dateline podcast Deadly Mirage sheds light on. It dives into the horrifying murder case of Rob Limon, a man who was living a seemingly perfect life with his wife Sabrina Limon, and their children in in Silver Lakes, California.
Hosted by Josh Mankiewicz, this Dateline podcast offers its listeners a journey of betrayal, and the dark consequences of infidelity. It reveals how the Limon couple's life fell apart when Sabrina Limon began an affair with a handsome firefighter and later became the prime suspect of killing Rob Limon.
As explained by Mankiewicz:
"It’s about indiscretions and a string of bad choices … Most of all, it’s about the danger of indulging delusions and allowing daydreams to become nightmares."
What's even more chilling about the Dateline podcast is how Rob Limon was brutally executed by the attacker. He was shot multiple times at his workplace which resulted in his death.

However, one day, a young firefighter named Jonathan Hearn once crashed the wolf pack's party, and this is when the real story begins. As explained by Mankiewicz, Sabrina and Jonathan got into a secret relationship.
Rob eventually found out about the affair through intimate messages from Jonathan on Sabrina's phone and asked her to stop seeing the young man. However, Sabrina didn't care much about Rob and continued her relationship.
On August 17, 2014, Rob Limon was shot dead while working at the BNSF railyard in Tehachapi. Initially, it looked like a failed robbery, but later the detectives were informed about Jonathan's storage voicemail and he quickly became a suspect.
Jonathan and Sabrina's phone calls, recorded through wiretaps revealed they had conversations about religion and faith in Christianity. However, the investigators found no proof of the murder plot. So, they tricked Sabrina about the case and she immediately called Jonathan on a burner phone, raising suspicion.
