Kada Scott, 23, recent graduate of Penn State, working overnight job at an assisted living facility vanishes shortly after arriving for her shift on October 4. A massive search effort takes place until police get a very specific anonymous tip that leads them to Kada's body on October 18. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack break down the clues that helped police collar a suspect, and what investigators really discovered when the remains of Kada Scott were found in a shallow grave. Keon King, a 21-year-old man whom police allege was the last person in contact with Scott, has since been arrested and charged with murder, arson and tampering with evidence in connection with the case.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss what happened when Hurstel attempts to carry out his fiendish plan and how a meat tenderizer, a handsaw, a spoon, a blender, and a bathtub are all part of the crime scene.

On November 10, 1984, 16-year-old Theresa Fusco was fired from her job at the snack bar at the Hot Skates roller skating rink in Lynbrook, on the south shore of Long Island, New York.

She was seen leaving in tears at 9:45 p.m., to walk to her home four blocks away. She did not come home, however.

On December 5, 1984, her naked body was found covered with leaves and debris in a wooded area not far from the roller rink. An autopsy revealed Theresa was raped and died as a result of ligature strangulation.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack explain how three men were convicted and sent to prison for a rape and murder they did not commit, and how evidence found at the time of the murder brought about the arrest of a man more than 40 years after the crime.
