On July 23, 2007, Jennifer Hawke-Petit walked into her local bank and alerted the teller that she and her family were being held hostage by two men who were forcing her to withdraw money. The bank called the police, but as they were on the phone Jennifer went back outside and left with her captor. Soon, the Petit home was found on fire, with the bodies of Jennifer and her two daughters inside. The investigation was short—police saw the captors fleeing the property and arrested them immediately. But the big question was why would anybody commit such a horrible crime?

When 9-year-old Debra May Helmick was snatched from her own front yard in broad daylight, investigators immediately suspected a connection to the Shari Smith case from two weeks before. Using behavioral profiling they narrowed their search. But even though the suspect continued making calls from payphones to the Smith household, forensics from Shari’s final letter gave them a lead on the culprit–one whose many warning signs and second chances would prove to be one of the most tragically preventable cases in memory.
