本集讲述了1997年在印第安纳州文森斯大学发生的布鲁克·贝克谋杀案。布鲁克是一名有抱负的记者，在被谋杀前，她正在调查一起兄弟会性侵犯事件。她的尸体后来在伊利诺伊州被发现。调查人员最初将注意力集中在布鲁克的两个约会对象和她的房东身上，但DNA证据最终将凶手指向史蒂夫的室友布莱恩·琼斯。布莱恩对布鲁克和另一名受害者埃里卡·诺曼产生痴迷，并对她们实施了性侵犯和谋杀。布莱恩模仿电影情节，将凶器藏匿在水槽中，并用湿毛巾擦拭犯罪现场。他最终被判犯有双重谋杀罪，并被判处终身监禁。

Shownotes Transcript

On a hot summer day in Illinois, police officers made their way through a field out in the middle of nowhere. They pushed aside the tall grass, and they could see and hear flies buzzing all around them. Suddenly, the officer at the front of the group stopped, crouched down, and called back to the others – he had finally found the body. The other officers rushed to him, and they all stared down at the dead young woman. The cops knew something like this would leave people in the small town nearby in complete shock, but they had no idea what their discovery would lead to. Because this dead young woman in the field would soon help solve a murder that had taken place across the border in Indiana, and lead police to a killer who had been on the run for two years.
