The Fire

About this episode

When a woman’s headless body is found on fire in a picnic area of a popular Illinois recreation park, the news shocks everyone. The brutality of the crime was difficult to comprehend, but even more confounding, the fact that she could not be identified and remained a Jane Doe for more than a year. Eventually, justice came knocking on the door of the predator who discarded her like trash.
