Summary

In April of 1988, an Indiana girl was abducted off the streets of her neighborhood while walking alone after hanging out with friends. After her body was found, the investigation into her murder intensified, but hundreds of suspects surfacing in the case. With the killer taunting the police and public via a scribbled message on a nearby barn about the murder, and threatening letters left for other girls in the area, detectives created a task force to hunt this monster down. And one day, a crucial movement in the investigation uncovered the person responsible. This is the story of April Tinsley.
