Kei'Mani Latigue, 13, lives with her grandmother, Dorothy Latigue - just the two of them.

Dorothy works at night and when she comes home the next morning, the door is unlocked, the house is a mess, the gas on the stove is on, and KeiMani is missing. KeiMani's father appears on local TV begging for anyone to please call police to help find his daughter.

Days later, the body of the 13-year-old is found with her hands chopped off and her head nearly severed. And she has been raped.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a close look at the family dynamic as Joe explains how forensics will help investigators determine what happened inside the home as well as where the child's body was found and what led police to arrest Darnell Jones, KeiMani's 33-year-old father.
