Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Cruising Towards Disaster - full transcript

WHEN CYNTHIA CASTILE
MET CHEF WAYNE CHINN

ON AN ALASKAN CRUISE,

SHE THOUGHT HER SHIP
HAD FINALLY COME IN.

HE WAS GREGARIOUS. HE WAS FUN.
HE WAS SENSITIVE.

MOM WAS HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE.

BUT LIFE WITH WAYNE

WAS HARDLY
THE RIDE SHE EXPECTED.

THERE WAS
A SHERIFF STANDING THERE,

AND HE SAID,
"DO YOU KNOW WAYNE CHINN?"

WAYNE'S CHECKERED PAST
WOULD SOON CATCH UP WITH HIM

AND PUT THEIR MARRIAGE ON A
COLLISION COURSE WITH DISASTER.



THE LIES HE'S TELLING
AREN'T PETTY LIES.

THESE ARE SERIOUS, SERIOUS LIES.

WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE
AND MARRIAGE,

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS
AS THEY SEEM.

CYNTHIA CASTILE NEVER PLANNED
FOR HEARTBREAK.

SHE ALWAYS BELIEVED
IN HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

I'M PROBABLY ONE
OF THE WORLD'S BEST OPTIMISTS.

I LOVE BEING A WIFE,
SO I JUST FIGURED

I WOULD ALWAYS BE MARRIED
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

BUT AFTER A DEVASTATING DIVORCE,

CYNTHIA'S HEART
SEEMED FOREVER ON THE MEND.

CYNTHIA'S FIRST MARRIAGE
BROKE UP

BECAUSE HER HUSBAND
HAD AN AFFAIR

WITH ONE OF CYNTHIA'S FRIENDS.



IT WAS VERY DEVASTATING
TO HAVE THAT COME TO AN END

AND THEN FEEL LIKE A FAILURE.

YOU KNOW,
"WHY COULDN'T I MAKE IT WORK?"

SEVEN YEARS HAD DONE
LITTLE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE,

SO IN APRIL OF 1998,

45-YEAR-OLD CYNTHIA
LEFT HER SMALL TOWN IN OREGON

TO TO EMBARK ON A NEW ADVENTURE.

I WAS SPEAKING
WITH A CLOSE GIRLFRIEND,

AND SHE SAID TO ME,

"WELL, CYNTHIA, WHAT ABOUT,
LIKE, A JOB ON A CRUISE SHIP?"

CYNTHIA FOUND
A CUSTOMER-RELATIONS POSITION

ON AN ALASKAN CRUISE LINE.

SOON, SHE WAS SURROUNDED
BY NEW SIGHTS, NEW CITIES,

AND A NEW MAN... THE SHIP'S
CHEF, WAYNE YEE CHINN.

FROM THE MOMENT THEY MET,
WAYNE CAME ON STRONG.

I WAS TRYING TO KIND OF MAKE

A BOUQUET OUT OF
THE FLOWERS THAT WAS THERE.

AND WAYNE CAME BY, AND HE GOES,

"OH," HE SAYS, "THOSE
ARE PRETTY. ARE THOSE YOURS?"

I SAID, "NO,
NO ONE EVER SENDS ME FLOWERS."

AND WHEN I WENT DOWN
TO MY CABIN THAT AFTERNOON

TO CHANGE MY CLOTHES,

THERE WAS A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS
WITH A CARD FROM HIM.

THE NEXT DAY WE ACTUALLY TALKED,

AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD EVERY
INTENTION OF MAKING ME HIS WIFE.

I'M LOOKING AT HIM THINKING,
"OKAY, WHATEVER."

WAYNE TOLD CYNTHIA HE
HAD LEARNED TO COOK IN THE NAVY,

WHERE HE STILL SERVED
AS A RESERVE OFFICER.

THAT MADE ME FEEL GOOD
BECAUSE HE IS PATRIOTIC.

HE WAS DOING SOMETHING
TO HELP HIS FELLOW MAN.

WAYNE SEEMED PERFECT,
AND BY NOW,

CYNTHIA WAS EAGER
TO OPEN HER HEART AGAIN.

SHE CALLED AND SAID,

"I'VE MET SOMEBODY.
WE JUST FELL IN LOVE."

I HADN'T HAD A MAN
PAY ATTENTION TO ME IN OVER,

YOU KNOW, SEVEN YEARS.

AND HE WAS WONDERFUL.
HE WAS GREGARIOUS.

HE WAS SENSITIVE.
HE WAS FUN.

AND WAYNE WAS OPEN
ABOUT HIS OWN PAINFUL PAST.

WAYNE HAD BEEN THROUGH
A VERY HORRENDOUS DIVORCE.

HE HAD THREE CHILDREN.

AND HE HAD FOUND HER
IN BED WITH ANOTHER MAN,

AND HE HAD BEEN TERRIBLY HURT.

I COULD IDENTIFY WITH THAT

BECAUSE I HAD BEEN
IN THAT POSITION, TOO.

BUT THAT WOULDN'T
STOP WAYNE FROM TRYING AGAIN.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 1999,
AFTER ONE MONTH TOGETHER AT SEA,

HE PROPOSED TO CYNTHIA.

WAYNE SAID, "COME
IN THE COOLER FOR A MINUTE."

AND HE DROPPED AN EMERALD
AND DIAMOND RING IN MY HAND

AND SAID, "THIS IS MY PROMISE
THAT I'LL BE FAITHFUL TO YOU

FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE."

AND I WAS SO EXCITED
TO BE ABLE TO SAY,

"I'M GONNA BE
SOMEBODY'S WIFE AGAIN."

BUT THE HAPPY GLOW
OF THEIR NEW ENGAGEMENT

DIDN'T LAST LONG.

SOON AFTER THE SHIP DOCKED
IN SAN FRANCISCO,

WAYNE TOLD CYNTHIA HE HAD
RECEIVED SOME DEVASTATING NEWS.

HIS TWO COLLEGE-AGED CHILDREN
HAD DIED IN A CAR CRASH.

THEY WERE GOING TO
SURPRISE THEIR DAD,

AND THAT THEY HAD BEEN KILLED
IN THIS HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

I REMEMBER HOLDING HIM
AND HIM CRYING,

"MY BABIES, MY BABIES,
MY BABIES ARE GONE."

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE,

WAYNE SAID HIS EX-WIFE
HADN'T EVEN BOTHERED TO CALL.

HE SAID HE GOT THE NEWS
FROM HIS DAUGHTER'S FRIEND

AND HAD ALREADY MISSED
THE FUNERALS.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT SOMEBODY
WOULD BE SO CRUEL AS TO DO THIS.

IT WAS JUST HEART-WRENCHING.

DESPITE THE TRAGEDY,

WAYNE WAS STILL EAGER
TO MARRY CYNTHIA RIGHT AWAY.

HE SAID PEOPLE'S LIVES
CROSS FOR A REASON

AND THAT I WAS THE BEST THING
THAT HAD EVER HAPPENED TO HIM

AND THAT HE WANTED ME WITH HIM
FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

TWO WEEKS LATER,

CYNTHIA AND WAYNE TIED THE KNOT
IN A SMALL CEREMONY

IN CYNTHIA'S HOME TOWN
OF EAGLE CREEK, OREGON.

WE CATERED
OUR OWN WEDDING RECEPTION.

MY MOM DID THE CAKE.

AND I WAS REAL EXCITED
THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE

THAT SPECIAL CONNECTION
WITH THAT PERSON.

SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

SHE HAD A GLOW
BECAUSE SHE WAS HAPPY.

THE NEWLYWEDS QUICKLY
SETTLED INTO LIFE BACK ON LAND.

AND IN JANUARY OF 2000,
THEY FOUND NEW JOBS TOGETHER

AS MANAGERS AT A MOTEL
ON THE OREGON COAST.

OUR APARTMENT
WAS BEHIND THE RECEPTION AREA.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO
THE FRONT COUNTER.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO
THE MAINTENANCE AND THE YARDS

AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT THE NEWLYWED BLISS
WOULDN'T LAST LONG.

ON VALENTINE'S DAY,

JUST FOUR MONTHS
AFTER THEIR WEDDING,

THE COUPLE GOT A SURPRISE VISIT
FROM AN UNWELCOME GUEST.

A BUZZER IN OUR APARTMENT RANG,

AND THERE WAS A LINCOLN COUNTY
SHERIFF STANDING THERE.

AND I SAID,
"WELL, CAN I HELP YOU?"

AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW,
"DO YOU KNOW WAYNE CHINN?"

AND HE WALKED OUT,

AND SO, THE SHERIFF TOLD HIM
HE HAD A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.

IT WAS JUST LIKE SOMEBODY
HAD JUST KICKED ME IN THE GUT.

CYNTHIA WOULD SOON FIND OUT

THAT NOT ONLY WAS
HER NEW HUSBAND A WANTED MAN,

HE WAS KEEPING SECRETS
THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE THEIR JOBS

AND THEIR MARRIAGE.

WAYNE CHINN IS A MASTERMIND

OF BEING
ABLE TO MANIPULATE WOMEN.

FOR CYNTHIA CASTILE,

VALENTINE'S DAY OF 2000

WAS MEMORABLE
FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

HER HUSBAND, WAYNE CHINN,
HAD JUST BEEN ARRESTED

RIGHT IN THE LOBBY OF
THE OREGON MOTEL THEY MANAGED.

WAYNE SAID,
"THIS HAS GOT TO BE A MISTAKE."

HE TOLD ME THAT OUR HOUSEKEEPER
AND HER BOYFRIEND

HAD USED A DEBIT CARD
OF ONE OF THE GUESTS

AND HAD SIGNED HIS NAME
TO THE CARD.

BUT AFTER
ARRESTING HIM FOR THEFT,

POLICE DISCOVERED THAT THIS
WAS FAR FROM HIS FIRST OFFENSE.

THEY RAN HIS NAME AND DISCOVERED
THAT HE HAD A WARRANT OUT

FOR HIS ARREST
FROM LEWIS COUNTY, WASHINGTON.

IN WASHINGTON,

WAYNE WAS CONVICTED
OF A FORGERY CHARGE,

AND THE COURT REQUIRED HIM TO DO
A CERTAIN NUMBER OF THINGS.

WELL, APPARENTLY
HE DIDN'T DO THOSE THINGS,

AND HE FACED
A BAIL-JUMPING CHARGE.

BUT WAYNE TOLD CYNTHIA
THERE WAS A LOGICAL EXPLANATION,

CLAIMING A VINDICTIVE
EX-GIRLFRIEND

HAD FALSELY ACCUSED HIM

OF STEALING
HER FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

HE TOLD ME
THAT HE HE HAD PURCHASED A CAR

WITH HIS PREVIOUS GIRLFRIEND

AND THEN SHE TRIED
TO BACK OUT OF THE DEAL.

BUT HE TOLD ME
HE HAD TAKEN CARE OF IT.

HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING.

HE KEPT SAYING, "I DIDN'T DO IT.

I DIDN'T DO IT.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG."

BUT I KEPT TELLING MOM,
"THEN WHY HAS HE BEEN ARRESTED?"

BUT CYNTHIA
WAS CONFIDENT IN HER MAN.

CYNTHIA LOVED HIM. HE LOVED HER.

AND SO, SHE ENDS UP
WRITING CHECKS FOR $14,000

TO DEFEND THE MAN SHE LOVES
FROM THIS CRIMINAL CHARGE.

FIVE WEEKS LATER,
WAYNE WAS FREE,

AND MARRIED LIFE
WAS BACK ON TRACK.

IN APRIL OF 2001,

THE COUPLE FOUND
NEW JOBS TOGETHER, ONCE AGAIN,

THIS TIME MANAGING
A POPULAR SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

IN A NEARBY TOWN.

WE SET UP A MENU.

"WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS THE PLATE"
WAS OUR LITTLE CATCHPHRASE.

AND, YOU KNOW, HERE WAS A DREAM
COME TRUE FOR BOTH OF US.

BUT THE DREAM HAD ONE FLAW...

WAYNE OFTEN HAD TO LEAVE HOME
FOR NAVAL RESERVE TRAINING.

CYNTHIA WOULD TELL ME

THAT HE WAS SPENDING
THE WEEKEND UP IN WASHINGTON,

AND I'M GOING,
"THERE'S NO WATER UP THERE."

WHY IS HE GOING
TO CENTRAL WASHINGTON

AS A NAVAL RESERVE.

HE STARTED SUPPOSEDLY
GETTING E-MAILS

FROM A COMMANDER IN THE NAVY.

SHE SHOWED THEM TO ME,
AND I SAID,

"WAIT A MINUTE... IF IT'S
AN OFFICIAL MILITARY E-MAIL,

"IT'S NOT GONNA COME
FROM A YAHOO ACCOUNT.

"IT'S GOING TO COME
FROM A MILITARY ACCOUNT.

SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT."

BUT ONCE AGAIN,

CYNTHIA GAVE WAYNE
THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT,

UNTIL THAT JUNE, WHEN
THE LAW PAID THEM ANOTHER VISIT.

WE WERE JUST GETTING READY
TO CLOSE FOR THE EVENING,

AND A COUNTY SHERIFF SHOWS UP.

IT'S LIKE, "MY GOSH.

NOW THEY'RE GOING TO
HAUL WAYNE OFF AGAIN."

THE SHERIFF TAKES WAYNE,

AND I SIT DOWN ON THE BENCH
BEHIND THE RECEPTION AREA

AT THE RESTAURANT AND CRY.

WAYNE HAD SKIPPED
YET ANOTHER COURT DATE

FOR HIS FORGERY CHARGE.

THIS TIME,
HE WOULD SPEND EIGHT MONTHS

IN A WASHINGTON STATE PRISON.

I WAS VERY, VERY UNHAPPY,

BUT ALL MARRIED COUPLES DO GO
THROUGH GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES.

ANYTIME
THAT SHE WENT UP TO VISIT HIM,

SHE JUST DID NOT SOUND
LIKE HER NORMAL SELF.

YOU COULD HEAR THE SADNESS
IN HER VOICE AFTER THAT.

WHEN WAYNE
WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON

IN AUGUST OF 2002,

CYNTHIA WAS THERE
TO PICK HIM UP.

SHE WAS DETERMINED
TO PUT THE PAST BEHIND THEM.

SHE WAS ABOUT TO TURN 50,

AND WAYNE WANTED
TO THROW HER A PARTY.

HE SAID,
"YEAH, LET'S PLAN THE PARTY.

"I WILL FIND A PLACE
TO HAVE IT AT.

I'LL PAY FOR IT.
I'LL MAKE SURE SHE GETS THERE."

BUT THE NIGHT
BEFORE THE CELEBRATION,

WAYNE GOT A DISAPPOINTING CALL.

THE PHONE RANG, AND HE GOES,

"WELL, THAT WAS MY PAROLE
OFFICER FROM LEWIS COUNTY.

THEY'RE COMING TO DO
AN IN-HOME VISIT TOMORROW."

AND I SAID,
"WAYNE, MY PARTY IS TOMORROW,

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?"

HE GOES,
"JUST GO. IT'LL BE FINE.

"YOU JUST GO IN THE HOTEL,

AND THEY HAVE IT ALL SET UP
FOR YOU."

THE NEXT DAY, CYNTHIA
DROVE ALONE TO HER PARTY,

TWO HOURS AWAY.

BUT WHAT GREETED HER THERE
WAS A TERRIBLE SURPRISE,

ONE THAT WOULD DESTROY HER FAITH
IN HER HUSBAND FOREVER.

HE LIED TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY.

IT WAS LIKE A PUNCH IN THE GUT
FOR ALL OF US.

SO, I WENT BACK OUT,
AND I SAT IN THE CAR,

AND I CRIED AND I CRIED
AND I CRIED AND I CRIED.

IT WAS JANUARY 13, 2003...

CYNTHIA CASTILE'S
50th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

HER HUSBAND, WAYNE,
HAD PLANNED A FANCY PARTY,

EVEN THOUGH A PAROLE VISIT
MEANT HE COULDN'T BE THERE.

I TRAVELED THE
2 1/2 HOURS UP FROM THE COAST

TO THE HOTEL RESTAURANT WHERE
THE PARTY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE,

AND I GO INTO THE HOSTESS' DESK,

TELL THEM WHO I AM
AND WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THERE,

AND THERE'S NO RESERVATIONS.

THEY SAID,

"WE HAVE NO RECORD OF A PARTY
BEING BOOKED FOR TODAY.

"THERE'S BEEN NO PAYMENT MADE.

WE DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT."

SO, I WENT BACK OUT,
AND I SAT IN THE CAR,

AND I CRIED...

AND I CRIED
AND I CRIED AND I CRIED.

WHEN CYNTHIA RETURNED HOME,

WAYNE TRIED TO PERSUADE HER
THE HOTEL MADE A MISTAKE,

BUT SHE WASN'T BUYING IT.

HER BLIND FAITH IN WAYNE
HAD BEEN SHATTERED.

SO THE NEXT DAY
WHEN HE WENT TO WORK,

I GOT THE NUMBER OF HIS
PAROLE OFFICER FOR LEWIS COUNTY

AND CALLED HER AND SAID,
"JUST WANTED TO KNOW,

YOU KNOW, DO YOU DO
OUT-OF-STATE, IN-HOME VISITS?"

AND SHE SAYS, "NO."

THAT EVENING,
CYNTHIA CONFRONTED HER HUSBAND.

I SAID, "SO, WAYNE,
HOW WAS THAT VISIT YESTERDAY?

EVERYTHING GO OKAY?"
HE SAID, "IT WENT GREAT."

I SAID, "WELL, THAT'S FUNNY.
I TALKED TO HER TODAY.

AND THEY DON'T DO
OUT-OF-STATE, IN-HOME VISITS."

SO BACKPEDALING REALLY FAST,
HE TOLD ME,

"WELL, IT WAS ONE OF
HER OTHER ASSOCIATES."

AND SO,
I JUST FINALLY SAID, "WHATEVER."

I THINK IT WAS THE FINAL STRAW.

I THINK THAT THAT STARTED
HER REALLY RECONSIDERING THINGS,

REALLY QUESTIONING
EVERYTHING EVEN MORE.

BUT DESPITE HER GROWING DOUBTS,

CYNTHIA COULDN'T FACE
THE PROSPECT OF ANOTHER DIVORCE,

SO SHE SWALLOWED HER PRIDE
AND GAVE WAYNE ONE LAST CHANCE.

IT'S BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE
SO STRONGLY IN THIS PERSON

IT OVERSHADOWS THAT UNBELIEF,
AND THAT'S WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

I MEAN, THIS MAN TOLD ME HE'D
LOVE ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

TWO MONTHS LATER,
IN MARCH OF 2003,

WAYNE FOUND
A NEW JOB OPPORTUNITY

AT A RESTAURANT IN COLORADO,
OVER 1,000 MILES AWAY.

I TOLD WAYNE

THAT THERE WAS NO SENSE
IN ME QUITTING MY JOB.

I MIGHT AS WELL STAY TILL JUNE,

AND THEN I WOULD COME
AND JOIN HIM.

FOR MONTHS,
THE COUPLE TALKED BY PHONE,

PLANNING THEIR FUTURE TOGETHER
IN THE ROCKIES,

UNTIL ONE DAY IN LATE AUGUST,

WHEN CYNTHIA GOT A STRANGE CALL
FROM HER HUSBAND.

HE GOES,
"HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR E-MAIL?"

AND I GO, "WELL, WHY?"

HE GOES, "YOU JUST NEED
TO CHECK YOUR E-MAIL."

CYNTHIA HUNG UP,
LOGGED ON, AND SURE ENOUGH,

THERE WAS AN E-MAIL
FROM WAYNE ASKING FOR A DIVORCE.

I BROKE DOWN, AND I CRIED.
ALL MY DREAMS WERE NOW ALL GONE.

I WAS NOBODY'S WIFE AGAIN.

BUT CYNTHIA'S
HEARTBREAK WAS JUST BEGINNING.

IN EARLY JANUARY 2004,
SHE PHONED WAYNE AT WORK

TO TELL HIM THE DIVORCE PAPERS
WERE READY.

THE OWNER OF THE PLACE
CAME ON THE PHONE,

AND SHE SAYS, "WELL,
HE DOESN'T WORK HERE ANYMORE.

"I FIRED HIM IN DECEMBER.

BUT HE STILL IS HERE IN
ESTES PARK WITH HIS WIFE, KIM."

AND I SAID,
"WELL, I'M HIS WIFE."

SHE SAYS, "WELL, HE'S GOT
TWO OF THEM, DOESN'T HE?"

CYNTHIA HAD LIVED
WITH WAYNE'S PETTY CRIMES,

AND EVEN FORGIVEN HIS LIES,

BUT TO HER, THE BIGAMY
WAS THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL.

LITTLE DID SHE KNOW, IT WAS
JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

AS CYNTHIA PORED THROUGH
WAYNE'S PERSONAL DOCUMENTS,

SHE SOON DISCOVERED THAT THE MAN
SHE'D OPENED HER HEART TO

WAS LITTLE MORE
THAN A COMMON CROOK.

WAYNE CHINN
HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD IN OREGON,

WASHINGTON, AND ALASKA.

HE WENT TO WORK AT A LUMBER MILL
AS A SECURITY GUARD.

HE WAS ACCUSED OF BURNING DOWN
THE LUMBER MILL,

AND WE KNOW HE ACTUALLY
WENT TO PRISON FOR THAT.

AND WAYNE
WASN'T A NAVAL OFFICER

OR IN THE RESERVES.

HE HAD BEEN DISCHARGED
FROM THE NAVY DECADES EARLIER.

SO, THE WHOLE TIME THAT WAYNE
WAS DOING THE NAVAL RESERVES

WAS ALL BOGUS.

I WAS COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDED

THAT SOMEBODY
COULD FIGURE THIS ALL OUT

AND NOT THINK
THAT THEY WOULD GET CAUGHT.

IT SEEMED THAT EVERYTHING

CYNTHIA HAD LOVED ABOUT WAYNE
WAS A LIE,

BUT SHE WAS ABOUT TO GET EVEN.

I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE
TWO WOMEN, THREE WOMEN,

BUT THERE'S FOUR, THERE'S FIVE,
THERE'S SIX, THERE'S SEVEN.

HE DIDN'T HAVE
ANY REMORSE. HE DIDN'T CARE.

AND I HAD HAD ENOUGH.

IN JANUARY OF 2004,
CYNTHIA CASTILE

WAS STUNNED TO DISCOVER
THAT HER HUSBAND,

WAYNE CHINN, WAS A BIGAMIST,

LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE
WITH ANOTHER WIFE IN COLORADO.

BUT THAT WAS FAR FROM ALL.

HERE I WAS CAUGHT UP
IN THIS WEB OF ALL THIS MYSTERY,

ALL THESE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

CYNTHIA SOON LEARNED
THAT WAYNE HAD A LONG HISTORY

OF MANIPULATING
AND MARRYING WOMEN.

YOU START LOOKING
AT COURT DOCUMENTS

AND YOU REALIZE THERE ISN'T TWO,
THERE ISN'T THREE,

THERE'S FOUR, THERE'S FIVE,
THERE'S SIX, THERE'S SEVEN...

AND THAT IS JUST
THE WOMEN HE'S MARRIED.

DETERMINED TO UNRAVEL
WAYNE'S LIES ONCE AND FOR ALL,

CYNTHIA REACHED OUT
TO THE WOMEN IN HIS PAST.

I SAT DOWN,
AND I WROTE A LETTER

LISTING ALL OF THESE WOMEN'S
E-MAIL ADDRESSES,

PUT ALL THE DETAILS
OF THE BIGAMY,

AND I CONTACTED THE EX-WIFE,

AND WE PLAYED A LOT OF
"I'LL TELL YOU IF YOU TELL ME."

IT SOON BECAME CLEAR
HOW WAYNE WON SO MANY HEARTS.

WAYNE CHINN IS A MASTERMIND

OF BEING
ABLE TO MANIPULATE WOMEN.

ONE OF THE THINGS HE SAYS
IS THAT HE'S IN THE NAVY,

AND THAT GIVES HIM DIGNITY
AND CACHE

AND IS ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT THEY'RE DRAWN TO...

A MAN IN UNIFORM.

HE COMES IN AT THE RIGHT TIME,
HE WOOS THEM,

HE TELLS THEM THE THINGS
THAT THEY WANT TO HEAR...

ESPECIALLY IN THAT TIME
IN THEIR LIVES

WHERE THEY FEEL VULNERABLE,
AND THEN HE MARRIES THEM.

AND ONCE HE MARRIES THEM,
HE HAS ACCESS TO THEIR FINANCES,

JUST LIKE ANY HUSBAND
OR WIFE DOES.

AND WHEN THINGS
BEGAN TO GET COMPLICATED,

IT SEEMED THAT WAYNE
HAD A CLEVER EXIT PLAN.

ONE OF HIS BIG CONS
WITH ONE OF HIS FIANCéES

IS THAT HE GOT CALLED UP
TO IRAQ.

SO, HE GOES TO IRAQ,
AND WHILE HE'S IN IRAQ,

HE'S CALLING HER IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT WHEN SHE'S ASLEEP

BECAUSE IRAQ IS ON
A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE.

AND SHE'S BACK IN THIS COUNTRY
TRYING TO, YOU KNOW,

KEEP HIM SUPPORTED BY
WRITING CHECKS TO PAY HIS BILLS.

MEANWHILE,
HE'S OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE

MARRIED TO ANOTHER WOMAN.

SO, YOU LET THIS
PATHOLOGICAL LIAR INTO YOUR LIFE

THAT MESSES UP EVERYTHING,

AND THERE'S NO LAW
AGAINST LYING.

SO, IF THERE'S
NO LAW AGAINST LYING,

THEN HOW DO WE STOP THIS PERSON?

I INVESTIGATE A LOT OF CROOKS,

BUT USUALLY IT HAS TO DO
WITH SOMETHING THAT'S AN OBJECT,

LIKE A CAR OR CREDIT CARDS,

BUT THIS CASE IS DIFFERENT
BECAUSE HE'S USING LOVE.

LOVE IS THE THING THAT HE USES
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE.

AND THERE WAS ONE LIE

THAT WAS THE MOST DISTURBING
OF ALL.

WAYNE'S TWO CHILDREN
WERE VERY MUCH ALIVE.

THAT IS
ONE OF THE KEY PARTS OF HIS CON.

BY TELLING THESE WOMEN

THAT HIS TWO CHILDREN
HAVE DIED IN A CAR WRECK,

HE'S OPENING HIMSELF UP,

AND THEY WANT TO GIVE HIM
THEIR SHOULDER TO CRY ON.

AND IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
BONDS THEM THE MOST TO HIM...

THAT HE'S LIVED THROUGH
THIS TRAGEDY.

I WAS JUST LITERALLY FLOORED.

WHY WOULD ANYBODY
USE THEIR CHILDREN LIKE THAT

TO FURTHER THEIR OWN CAUSE?

WHY WOULD ANYBODY DO THAT?

IT WAS THE FINAL STRAW
FOR CYNTHIA.

SHE MARCHED DOWN
TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE

AND FILED BIGAMY CHARGES
AGAINST WAYNE.

I THINK CYNTHIA
HAD COME TO REALIZE

THAT HE REALLY WAS A LIAR,
A CHEAT, AND A SCUMBAG,

AND I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY
MORE OF A RELIEF TO HER.

IN JULY 2004,

WAYNE YEE CHINN
WAS FOUND GUILTY OF BIGAMY.

HE SPENT 10 DAYS IN JAIL
AND PAID A $500 FINE...

THE MAXIMUM PENALTY
THAT OREGON LAW ALLOWED.

THIS TIME, CYNTHIA
DIDN'T PAY HIS LEGAL FEES.

AND WHEN I WALKED OUT
OF THE ROOM,

THEN I JUST COMPLETELY
FELL ALL APART.

IT WAS TIME TO LET IT ALL GO,
JUST TO MELT AWAY,

AND THEN BE STRONG AGAIN.

THEIR DIVORCE BECAME
OFFICIAL ON OCTOBER 26, 2004.

I WAS VERY RELIEVED
THAT HE WAS GONE,

THAT HE WASN'T GONNA BE
A PART OF MY LIFE ANYMORE.

BUT, I WASN'T ANYBODY'S
WIFE ANYMORE.

THAT'S THE HEARTACHE
THAT I HAVE.

TODAY, CYNTHIA
IS NO LONGER CARING FOR HER MAN,

BUT SHE HASN'T STOPPED CARING
FOR OTHERS.

I LIVE WITH MY MOM HERE.

BOTH MY GIRLS LIVE WITHIN
6 MILES, AND MY GRANDCHILDREN.

I'M HEAD OF DINING SERVICES
AT AN ASSISTED-LIVING CENTER,

AND I ENJOY MY JOB VERY MUCH.

LIFE IS JUST GOOD.

THOUGH CYNTHIA IS DATING,

SHE'S UNSURE
THAT SHE WILL EVER MARRY AGAIN.

IT STILL KIND OF HAUNTS HER.

SHE WAS VERY VULNERABLE TO HIM.

I DO HOPE THAT ONE DAY SHE
WILL MEET THE MAN OF HER DREAMS.

IT'S LIKE,
"HERE'S MY BACKGROUND.

FEEL FREE TO CHECK IT

'CAUSE YOU BETTER BELIEVE
I'M GONNA CHECK YOURS."

'CAUSE I'M NOT GONNA PUT MYSELF
IN THAT POSITION AGAIN.
