One night in 2008, in the small Virginia town of Hayville, Sarah Jenkinson was found dead in her kitchen—no sign of forced entry or struggle, only odd footprints, her ring removed, and tampered CCTV footage. Detective James Walker follows digital trails, timestamp analyses, and suspicious financial records—from a $200,000 insurance transfer to the mysterious name “James Carver”—before uncovering a long-held vendetta by Alex Miller, who hired Carver to frame Sarah’s husband as the killer.

In this episode, you’ll learn how Walker used footprint forensics, CCTV analysis, and bank transaction audits to dismantle the planted evidence that ensnared an innocent victim and wrongly accused perpetrator. Discover the warning signs of digital manipulation, the crucial role of financial trails in investigations, and how fragile trust can be in a tight-knit community when dark secrets come to light.
