Ep.2: Killing Fields

ID
About this episode
Sarah Cailean is on the ground in western Washington, determined to get to the bottom of whether the disappearance of Misty Copsey is the work of someone she knew – or that of a serial killer. Sarah quickly learns that Washington is rightfully-known as a serial killer capital of the world, and Misty disappeared at a time when serial killers and predators often went undetected or unapprehended. Speaking with a local investigator who solved two decades-long cold cases, Sarah looks for similarities between the work of known serial killers and the events surrounding Misty’s disappearance. Then – the rug gets pulled out from under her.
