Summary
A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse.

| 0:25.8 | one of them was murdered in her home. The police spent weeks piecing together the night |
| 0:30.1 | with hazy recollections, spotty DNA evidence, and dozens of party photos. |
| 0:35.6 | Eventually they had a suspect. His story kept changing. His DNA was at the crime scene. |
| 0:41.8 | And he finally came in for questioning. The detectives felt like they were a breath away from |
| 0:46.0 | a confession. But that didn't happen. And so the police decided to focus their attention on |
| 0:51.3 | another man. A man with a criminal record whose DNA was also found at the crime scene. |
| 0:56.4 | And he just happened to be the only black man at the party. Suspect starts out as a compelling |

| 1:07.6 | about race and policing, and ultimately the kinds of wavy decisions that cops and prosecutors |
| 1:12.8 | make every day. Decisions that once made change lives forever and are almost impossible to reverse. |
