A 77-year-old grandmother stranded on the side of the road. A chance encounter with pure evil. A crime so brutal it shattered an entire family and left a town in shock.

As the case unfolds, we follow the chilling investigation, the relentless pursuit of justice, and the jaw-dropping courtroom chaos that no one saw coming.
