The Interrogation/ The Slide
Around 6:30am on January 20, 1998, 12-year-old Stephanie Crowe is found stabbed to death in her parent's Escondido, CA home. Escondido Police Department detectives work the case and find no signs of forced entry into the Crowe home.

Thinking that it might be an inside job, detectives take a hard look at Stephanie's brother, 14-year-old Michael Crowe. In the detectives' judgment, Michael Crowe seems strangely aloof and emotionally unaffected by the death of his sister.

Meanwhile, on May 20, 1984, Detective Jim Heimerl is working the night shift in the city of Minneapolis when he gets called out on a homicide. Heimerl arrives at the scene and finds 69-year-old Agnes Fafrowicz dead, with her pants and underwear down around her ankles - a telltale sign of rape.

Sgt. Bob Nelson heads up the investigation and notes the likely point of entry to be a bedroom window. The house has been ransacked and the contents of Agnes' purse dumped on the bathroom floor. Nelson determines Agnes' checkbook is missing, and he alerts the bank to look for any cashed checks, hoping the killer will make a false step.

Dr. Garry Peterson supervises the autopsy. The cause of death is not immediately evident. Peterson does find that Agnes had suffered from heart disease. As a result, Agnes' heart could not withstand the shock of being raped and she died from a heart attack.
