Eye Drops

About this episode

In 2007, a quiet coffee shop became the scene of a horrific murder early one morning. The police had no evidence and a witness so traumatized she couldn't remember anything. The only lead came from a discarded sweater containing a bottle of eye drops in the pocket. The hunt for the culprit revealed that they were chasing a man who the justice system had already met, and set free.
