On April 19, 2015, a 21-year-old mother fails to turn up to work not far from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. After her sister calls the police, the young woman’s body is found in a shed at the rear of a local residence. Despite fighting for her life, she has been brutally stabbed almost 50 times. It’s only a matter of time before the perpetrator is apprehended, and sadly, it’s the worst nightmare come true for the young woman’s family when they learn who’s responsible. But as the days and weeks pass, the full extent of what went on behind the scenes in the lead-up to the attack - and the potential for other victims - is revealed, as the ugliness of the case is laid bare.
