Jane's body was discovered the day after her husband had called police to say she'd gone missing.
Her body was in her Mercedes SUV that was found on Detroit's east side.
Days later, Grosse Pointe Park police named Bob as a person of interest in his wife's death -- but he's never been charged in connection with it.

Bob Bashara tried to kill Gentz
Bashara has been sentenced to 80 to 240 months in prison for trying to hire somebody to kill Gentz in jail.
During his sentencing Bashara said he is "truly and humbly sorry" for hiring a hit man to kill Gentz.
"What I did was inexcusable. I have no one to blame but myself," the Grosse Pointe Park man told the court. "But I understand fully what I did was a crime and something that I will regret for the rest of my life."
