When the suspects’ stories overlap and raise more questions than they answer, investigators turn to forensics to separate the lies from the startling truth. One tenacious detective goes to surprising lengths to obtain that evidence, and in the end, in a dramatic twist, it’s the victim herself who gives police what they need.
