Episode Details

In the quiet town of Wadsworth, Ohio, a 98-year-old grandmother's habit of leaving her front door unlocked became the gateway to a nightmare when a troubled teenager, seeking nothing more than an adrenaline rush, crossed her threshold and committed an act so depraved that investigators would be haunted by the blackberry jam jar left behind as evidence. What began as a routine police inquiry into local car break-ins would unravel into a chilling discovery of necrophilia, videotaped trophies, and a killer whose journal revealed a long-held fantasy of taking a life, forcing a mother to confront the unthinkable truth that the monster they were hunting was her own son.
