Episode Details

For twenty years, Francisco Acevedo moved freely through the streets of New York  a family man, a drifter, a drunk  while the bodies of three women he had strangled lay buried in cold case files that no detective could crack. It was not brilliance that finally exposed him, nor a witness brave enough to speak  it was the cotton swab he pressed to his own cheek in a prison intake room, voluntarily handing investigators the DNA that science had patiently held against him for two decades, sealing the fate of a killer who, in the end, destroyed himself.
