This episode includes graphic details and discussion of sexual assault. If you are sensitive to this content, feel free to skip this episode.

A serial killer is terrorizing women on the streets of Tampa, Florida during the 1980s. There is a mountain of evidence, but it only ties the victims together, showing the women were murdered by the same person. With no leads, the detectives seem to be going nowhere with the case. However, the strength and will of one young woman may be exactly what they need to point them in the right direction.

All that was needed was a confession. But as the saying goes, things aren't always as they seem. Anyone from the outside looking in should know that something isn't right after 18-year-old Ryan Waller is arrested for murder. And sometimes, getting justice needs to go further than catching the guilty party.

We all like to believe we have what it takes to face death and come out on the other side; bravery, strength, fighter instinct. What if you were abducted, attacked, brutally assaulted and left for dead? Would you survive? On a December night in 1994, Alison Botha had to answer those questions for herself. This is her story..."A story of monsters, miracles and hope."

The star of Fall River, Massachusetts' newfound scandal was socialite, Sunday school teacher, and daughter of the victims, Lizzie Borden. Although she had an alibi, it seemed she couldn't quite remember exactly where she was or what she was doing. Was she away from the scene of the crime when tragedy struck? Or was she yielding a hatchet and wreaking havoc in the Borden home?
