Plot summary[]
In 1995, when off-duty Maine State Trooper Vicki Gardner is raped and sodomized by Steven Fortin during a routine stop, it triggers a chain of events which jumpstarts a stalled murder case in New Jersey.
The Maine attack appears strikingly similar to the brutal sexual assault and murder of Melissa Padilla in Woodbridge, New Jersey in 1994. There is very little forensic evidence in the New Jersey crime, but the signature the killer left behind– the ritualistic bite mark similarities in both of these crimes– identified him just as convincingly as a DNA match.
