Touch of Evil
The media dubbed him the “Last Call Killer” because he targeted men in gay bars who were obviously intoxicated.

He eluded capture for almost ten years... and then new technology revealed fingerprints no one knew were there.

Hair of the Dog
Police discover a man shot dead in his home after they receive a call from his worried mother. The search for the killer would lead them on a two-year investigation spanning several states.

Breaking News
A young TV news producer is raped and murdered in her apartment. Police identify two suspects, but both are cleared of any wrongdoing. The case stalls for more than a year, and then investigators turn to the Commonwealth of Virginia’s DNA Databank which houses profiles of more than 8,000 convicted felons, and is the first of its kind in the nation. A comparison of the crime scene evidence with the Databank profiles results in Virginia’s first “cold hit” in a homicide investigation, and reveals the identity of the killer.
