本集讲述了Marc Karun在33年间犯下的多起罪行，以及最终因11岁女孩Kathleen Flynn的谋杀案而被捕的故事。节目详细描述了Karun在1986年强奸一名18岁女孩，以及在随后的几年中犯下的其他性侵犯和暴力犯罪。尽管警方在Kathleen Flynn的谋杀案中收集到了一些证据，但由于当时的DNA技术限制，未能立即将Karun绳之以法。然而，随着DNA技术的进步，警方最终利用线粒体DNA证据将Karun与Kathleen Flynn的谋杀案联系起来，并在2019年将其逮捕。节目还探讨了美国司法系统中的一些问题，例如由于受害者未出庭作证而导致的轻判，以及在搜查Karun住所时发现的儿童色情制品等。

1986 - Norwalk, Connecticut.

When Kathleen Marie Flynn left for school the morning of September 23rd, 1986 in Norwalk, Connecticut it was just a normal day. But when 3:30 rolled around and punctual Kathleen still wasn't home from school, her mother started panicking. Later that night Kathleen's body is found in the woods. She'd been killed on her way home from school.

Police quickly add 23-year-old Marc Karun to their suspect list based on a violent assault he'd committed earlier that year. There were similarities between that case and Kathleen's murder, but police don't have enough evidence to charge him.

But this is the 1980's, and DNA evidence is decades away from what we know today. So Marc Karun walked a free man, terrorizing women in the Norwalk community, and spending short stints in jail... until 2013, when Marc Karun moved to a tiny town in the middle of central Maine and made his presence loud and clear...

This is a story of a monster who lived amongst us. The story of innocence stolen, and the story of the rise of DNA evidence and the long, winding road to justice.
