Plot summary
In March 1990, 22-year-old Dawn Bruce was raped, sodomized, and murdered in her Henrico County, Virginia apartment. The killer left very little evidence, but investigators did notice a blood smear on a pillow case that appeared to have been made by one of the killer's fingers.

New technology enabled investigators to identify a fingerprint from the cloth surface of the pillow case. This gave police the means to apprehend Robert Douglas Knight.
