Where is Gayle McCaffrey?

After an argument with her husband on St. Patrick's Day in front of family members, Gayle McCaffrey disappeared.  No one has seen or heard from her since.  After that same argument, her husband Bob, took a drive to the Upstate (4 hours away) in his pickup truck to meet a woman he told police he'd been seeing on the side. When police pulled him over for speeding, they saw a gun out of the glove compartment and near the front seat.  He was fined for speeding and sent on his way.  (Watch the Traffic Stop Here.) When he returned home, he told police he found a "note" from Gayle with her wedding ring.  Problem is, police almost immediately called the note a fake.  But since reporting her missing, Bob McCaffrey has refused to speak with police and he hired an attorney.  Despite only having circumstantial evidence, Sheriff Al Cannon is saying he's investigating a murder case-- and has named Bob McCaffrey his prime suspect.  This week on The Savage Report, you'll hear from Cannon and one of Gayle's sisters to find out how Gayle's two young children are coping.  We'll also hear from legal analysts to see how a case like this.. no body and no direct evidence of a crime... will likely unfold.
