Synopsis

In January 1976, ten-year-old Vernie Mitchell was making a brief trip to the store in Trenton, New Jersey, when he encountered an unspeakable horror. He was discovered lifeless, bearing forty-seven stab wounds and devastating head trauma. A bewildering array of potential suspects emerged, yet the investigation stalled, growing cold over time. Eighteen years later, as police finally focused on a prime suspect, his motive proved far more shocking than anyone could have conceived.
