00:00Hey Ace! Guess who's home? Guess who got off early, buddy? There he is. Want to go for
00:13a walk, buddy? Guess who's off? Want me to get your leash? There you are. Where's my
00:20good boy? What's up, Ace? Hey, buddy. What are you looking at? The attack was quick and
00:29brutal. The killer raining down blow after blow on his helpless victim. Seven years have
00:36passed since Detective Rory Trenton was found dead in his home in St. John's. His killer
00:44is yet to be found. And that, my friends, concludes Chapter One. Let's hear a round
00:53of applause for author Aubrey Anderson. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's a real honor
01:01to launch my book in my hometown, so thank you. Now, if anyone has questions. I have
01:10a question. How dare you use my personal tragedy to sell books? This is Nina Trenton, Rory's
01:20wife. I tried to contact you. I hope you rot in hell! Nina! How dare you use my personal
01:50tragedy to sell books? This is Nina Trenton, Rory's wife. I tried to contact you. I hope
01:56you rot in hell! Nina! I feel for her. To lose your husband and have the crime exploited.
02:04Yeah, this video has gone viral. It's over 300,000 views since last night. It's all over
02:09radio and television. And the mayor called the chief last night. And we're taking another
02:15look at the case. Yeah, exactly. Trenton case files are on their way from storage. Oh, great.
02:19Thank you. Please upload those to the National Violent Offenses Database, just in case we
02:23missed anything the first time around. Will do. Thank you. Also, copy of this, hot off
02:27the press. Thought we may need a reference copy. Why does the author's name ring a bell?
02:33Well, before he turned to writing, Aubrey was a local crime reporter. He was a colossal
02:39pain in the department's backside. Seven years ago, you worked the case? Well, not directly,
02:47but every officer knew what was going down. There was no evidence at the crime scene,
02:52no fingerprints, no DNA. What about suspects? None. Rory was well-liked. He had no obvious
02:58enemies. And we went through several of his old cases, and everyone who might have had
03:02a grudge had a rock-solid alibi. Personal life? No, no familial trouble. By all accounts,
03:08he's a happily married man. I mean, this was a long slog to nowhere for both Rory and Nina.
03:17There's no indication that Rory tried to defend himself. And that led original investigators to
03:27believe that the killer surprised him. What was the murder weapon? Based on skull impressions,
03:32forensics determined that it was a claw hammer. And there was also one missing from his toolkit.
03:37How did the killer enter? Uh, rear window. That kind of attack would create significant
03:45blood spatter, but this place looks spotless. Well, the place was thoroughly cleaned. I mean,
03:50the killer used household cleaning products. Why go through the effort of cleaning a scene
03:55and then leave the body behind? I don't know. Maybe they, you know, ran out of time,
04:00were interrupted. Or it might have been compulsive behavior. Just something they
04:05felt they had to do. Rex, what is this? Oh, that's a dog toy from the crime scene. Wait,
04:14Rory and Nina had a dog? Yeah. Yeah, Ace. He was there at the time of the murder. What
04:19happened to it? We don't know. He vanished. We spoke to the vet and he said that the dog
04:26wasn't microchipped. I wonder if Aubrey Anderson has any insight into the killer. Just because
04:33he's exploiting the crime for his own profit doesn't mean he hasn't researched it thoroughly.
04:36Yeah, I'm sure he's dug down and found something interesting. But first, talk to Nina Trenton. She
04:42deserves to know that this case is active. Okay. Rex, let's go.
04:54Last night was a mistake. I should never have gone to that reading, but I wanted to give that
04:58man a piece of my mind. I did not intend to lose it so publicly. I understand. And look, I'm sorry
05:05that I have to ask you, but you must have thought about who might have wanted to hurt your husband.
05:12For a while, that's all I ever did. And did any names ever come to mind? None.
05:20I've actually come to believe it was just random. Can you remember anything
05:25out of the ordinary in the days before the murder? You know, even the slightest thing? Nothing.
05:30Did you remarry? Yes. That's Percy Godfrey. When I lost Rory, an ace, I lost my whole world.
05:43If I didn't have the store to run, I don't think I would have made it.
05:46But then I met Percy and he gave me a chance to start over.
05:54Okay. Well, thank you, Nina. Feel free to call me any time, okay? And I'll make sure to keep you updated.
06:00I'd appreciate that.
06:12Excuse me. You must be the police.
06:14Yes, I am. I'm here to report a murder.
06:17Detective Sarah Turing, this is my partner, Rex. You must be Nina's husband.
06:21I am. Dr. Godfrey. Nina told me you're dropping by. I came as soon as I could.
06:25Well, I know this must be a difficult time.
06:27Nina was so upset after the book reading, she couldn't sleep.
06:30For her sake, Detective, please stop this investigation.
06:33I'm afraid we can't do that. But I'll do my best to make it as easy on you two as possible.
06:38I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
06:40I'm afraid we can't do that. But I'll do my best to make it as easy on you two as possible.
06:48Uh, Mr. Godfrey, do you have any thoughts about what happened to Rory?
06:53Nina said he was well-liked. My guess has him to do one of his old cases.
06:59I wasn't part of her life back then. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna make sure my wife is all right.
07:10♪♪♪♪
07:24The bookstore owner told me I could find you here, Mr. Anderson.
07:29My publisher arranged this space for me. They want me to stick around now.
07:32That the case is active.
07:34Oh, why is that?
07:35Well, because if you find the killer, I'll need to rewrite the ending.
07:43So you don't live in St. John's anymore?
07:45No, haven't in years. I've traveled, written across the country.
07:48But the Rory Trenton case has always fascinated me, and so it just drew me back home.
08:03Something seems to have caught my partner's attention.
08:06Oh, that's right. That's Nina's. Nina Trenton's.
08:11I found it on her chair at the book launch after everyone left.
08:15I've been planning to give it back to her.
08:17But I think I'm probably the last person that she'll want to see right now.
08:20If you're so concerned about Nina's well-being, why publish a book about the murder?
08:25Rory Trenton deserves justice. And look what's happened.
08:28All the publicity has created public protest, and now the investigation is active again.
08:33Sometimes cold cases need to be forced open.
08:38You know, I'd love to hear your first impressions.
08:44If it's not too confidential.
08:48The information we're working off is public knowledge, so...
08:52Okay.
08:53Yeah, sure.
08:54I'd say, on the one hand, the killer is calm and collected, but compulsive on the other.
09:07Yeah, methodical yet pathological.
09:10Cleaning the scene but leaving the body suggests they were irrational.
09:15Entering through the rear window, lying in wait, leaving no evidence.
09:18Those all show signs of rational control.
09:22To me, attacking a six-foot-two officer with only a hammer is the definition of irrational.
09:28But you know, it's yin and yang, isn't it?
09:32Your turn to help me.
09:33Okay.
09:34While researching your book, did you speak with anyone who caught your attention?
09:40Yeah, there was one person that I always was suspicious of.
09:42He's not in the book because I didn't want to land a defamation suit.
09:45But I first interviewed him just days after the crime.
09:50Hold up.
09:51What'd you say?
09:57You've lost all faith in the police department.
09:59I would.
10:00I used to feel safer having an officer next door.
10:03Right.
10:05But now that the entire force can't find one killer...
10:07Now I just think cops are a joke.
10:11That's the Aubrey Anderson that I remember.
10:13He claims he does it for the greater good.
10:15He's always trying to rile up the public against the police force.
10:19Who's he interviewing again?
10:20Remind me.
10:20Colin Crawford.
10:21He lived next door to Rory and Nina.
10:23He worked as a flight attendant.
10:24Still does.
10:25Ran him through the system.
10:26No record.
10:27No, hold on.
10:27I remember this guy now.
10:28He clammed up right after that interview.
10:30He didn't have an alibi for the night of the murder,
10:32but there was also no evidence linking him to the crime either.
10:35Aubrey said he stopped cooperating with him too and wouldn't be interviewed for the book.
10:39Okay.
10:40Check him out.
10:40Okay.
10:42Ritz.
10:45You know what?
10:46I've actually been reading Aubrey's book and the writing's pretty good.
10:49Yeah? Anything of interest in there?
10:51Nothing we don't already know,
10:52but there is speculation that Ace's disappearance has some significance,
10:56so I put a sort of bolo out for local dog groups just to see if anything turns up.
11:00Just remember to keep your eye on the ball.
11:01Oh, yeah.
11:02I will keep my eye on the ball.
11:04This is the ball.
11:05This is my eye.
11:07I'm gonna keep it on the ball.
11:20Excuse me?
11:22Colin Crawford?
11:23Yeah?
11:24Your house cleaner told me I could find you here.
11:28And you are?
11:29Detective Sarah Jung, SJPD.
11:31This is my partner, Rex.
11:32I just need to ask you something.
11:37Rex.
11:40Let go!
11:45Get off me!
11:45Get off me!
11:50Get down!
11:53Okay.
11:55Okay.
11:57Colin?
11:59You have something to hide?
12:00I want to speak with my lawyer.
12:02So we're gonna be doing this the hard way then.
12:09Where's my lawyer?
12:10En route.
12:11But I wanted to speak with you about something before they arrive.
12:13No way.
12:14Well, what I want to talk about you don't need a lawyer for.
12:18Unless that is you had something to do with Rory Trenton's murder.
12:22Rory Trenton?
12:25You mean you're not here about the cameras?
12:27I never should have said I'd bring them into the country.
12:30I was just helping a buddy out.
12:32You can talk to your lawyer about that when they get here, okay?
12:34But right now.
12:36Rory Trenton.
12:39I knew as soon as I saw the news that they were reopening the case
12:42and this nightmare was going to start all over.
12:46What do you want to know?
12:48Tell me about your relationship with Rory and Nina.
12:50They were just my neighbors.
12:52We'd chat.
12:53Sometimes I walked their dog for them.
12:55Okay, so no problems with them?
12:57None.
12:58Tell me about Rory's murder.
12:59What's there to tell?
13:01It made me angry.
13:03That's why I gave that interview with Aubrey Anderson.
13:05But I learned my lesson.
13:07What do you mean?
13:08I called the police a joke and that's when the threats started.
13:11Calls in the middle of the night.
13:14Threatening notes on my windshield.
13:15Telling me that if I'd criticize the cops, I'd end up dead.
13:19You didn't report these threats?
13:20To the very same police.
13:22Get serious.
13:23I just kept my mouth shut and I moved on.
13:31I'm sorry you were threatened, Mr. Crawford.
13:35Okay, and I'm truly sorry that you lost faith in the department.
13:39But if you know anything about Rory Trenton's murder,
13:45you need to speak up.
13:49For Nina's sake.
13:54It probably doesn't mean anything, but two months after the murder,
13:59a bouquet was delivered to Nina in Rory's house.
14:02Flowers?
14:03Three dozen pink roses with a note saying they were for Nina.
14:07She wasn't living there anymore, so I took them over to my place
14:10and she came to pick them up when I texted her.
14:13What did she say when she saw them?
14:14Nothing.
14:16She cried.
14:17Took them and left.
14:20Did she say who they were from?
14:22No.
14:23But I got the feeling she knew.
14:37So what's the deal with the pink roses Nina received?
14:40And who sent them?
14:41I was thinking it was a mourner, but pink isn't the color of mourning,
14:44it's the color of romance.
14:46So maybe Nina had someone on the side while Rory was alive.
14:49You won't get this.
14:51Jesse just sent me some info about a guy who made hundreds of comments
14:54on Nina's social media posts shortly before the murder.
14:56Dr. God.
14:58Any idea what his real identity is?
15:00Jesse dug in deeper here.
15:02Let's Percy Godfrey, Nina's new husband,
15:04Let's Percy Godfrey, Nina's new husband.
15:07This guy didn't try too hard to disguise himself, did he?
15:09No, and he liked every comment Nina made.
15:12It was as if he wanted to be noticed.
15:13Well, did Nina interact with him?
15:15No, she didn't engage with any of his posts.
15:18Could Nina have lied about knowing Godfrey while Rory was alive?
15:22Or maybe her future husband started out as an anonymous stalker.
15:28I remember the flowers.
15:29I picked them up at Collins.
15:31He said you gave him the impression that you knew who they were from.
15:34Of course I knew.
15:36They were from Rory.
15:38For our anniversary.
15:41Getting them was heartbreaking.
15:42I cried all night.
15:45But Rory was dead.
15:48Obviously he pre-ordered them.
15:51You never mentioned getting the flowers to the police.
15:54Why would I?
15:56Are you absolutely certain Rory was the one who sent them?
15:59Who else would have?
16:00Do you remember a Dr. God who was following you on social media?
16:05Dr. God?
16:07Yeah, I do.
16:10He was some troll.
16:12I never interacted with him.
16:15Well, Dr. God was a nickname used by your current husband.
16:22Percy was Dr. God?
16:25We didn't even know each other back then.
16:27I mean, apparently he was a big fan of mine.
16:30He remembers meeting me at some party years ago, but I have no recollection.
16:38Are you sure about this?
16:40Yes.
16:41And he had been following you for four months before Rory died.
16:48Why would he do that?
16:50Dr. God was a joke account I made when I was a dental student.
16:54I created a new profile since then that was more professional.
16:56See, the thing about stalkers is they like to track their victims' socials while they remain anonymous.
17:02Stalkers.
17:04Are you suggesting I stalked Nina?
17:08No.
17:11Okay.
17:12Stalkers.
17:15Are you suggesting I stalked Nina?
17:22No, you're actually wondering if I had something to do with Rory's murder, aren't you?
17:26See, you're invisible to Nina.
17:29She had Rory. She had Ace.
17:32So hear me out. Maybe, just maybe, you thought that by removing them, she'd finally notice you.
17:38That's ridiculous.
17:41Is it? Because two months after Rory's death, someone sent Nina a bouquet of roses.
17:48Was it you?
17:51Of course not. She said they were from Rory.
18:01Godfrey seemed convinced that the flowers were from Rory.
18:03Okay. I mean, maybe he and Nina are coordinating their stories.
18:07Yeah, suggesting they conspired to do away with Rory.
18:10It's possible.
18:12Maybe. You should run it by Sarah.
18:14Well, Aubrey Anderson, he wanted to speak with her.
18:17Listen, I think I might have something. Something came up on V-Class. A murder in Ontario, three years ago.
18:24What matched?
18:26Well, the M.O. in general, but the thing that caught my eye is that the victim's dog vanished.
18:30Yeah, like Ace. Yeah, but it's not much to go on, though.
18:34But, I mean, you know what I can do is that I can get a flight to Toronto, be back in less than a day.
18:40Yeah, that's good. Just make sure you get a compact and fly Economy.
18:45Maybe Economy plus for extra legroom?
18:52Is that a no?
19:01Thank you for meeting me on my daily constitutional.
19:05Writers spend way too much time at their desk.
19:08Not a problem. Rex needs to stretch his legs, too.
19:13So, you wanted to talk with me?
19:15Yeah, I heard about the flowers that Nina received.
19:18But, I still got some contacts on the force. Not all cops hate me.
19:23So, any idea who sent the bouquet?
19:26You may have your sources, but I'm not one of them.
19:31You want me to tell you who it was?
19:38Colin Crawford.
19:40Same person who just told me about them?
19:43Hmm.
19:45Why would he potentially incriminate himself like that?
19:48Well, like we discussed, this killer is a contradiction, and Colin fits that bill.
19:52He kills a cop, then complains about them on TV.
19:55He refuses to give me an interview, and then turns around, coughs up this evidence, real evidence.
20:00Why would Colin send flowers to Nina in the first place?
20:03Well, as awful as it might sound, some murders get off on prolonging the family's suffering.
20:09Oh, wow. So, now you're a profiler.
20:11I've read hundreds of papers on killers.
20:14If you're going to write credibly, you have to know what you're writing about.
20:16Look, imagine Colin enjoying the look on Nina's face as she retrieved the flowers.
20:22There's no evidence to support this.
20:24Finding proof is your job, not mine.
20:29I'm just here to give you some thoughts.
20:35Okay, Rex, I need to think this through, and you have to help me.
20:41Okay, okay. Let's try something else.
20:43Okay, okay. Let's try something else.
20:46Okay, you're going to help me, alright?
20:48You're the killer.
20:50Okay, I know. You're the killer.
20:53And I'm going to be Rory. We know Rory was a prize.
20:56So, you've probably broken in and found a place to hide.
21:01So, you're hiding somewhere.
21:03Go. You're going to go hide.
21:07Nice spot.
21:09Yeah, so you're back there. You're lying in wait.
21:10I'm Rory, and...
21:14Hey, you're supposed to be hiding.
21:16You've got to hide well to be a good killer.
21:18Get down.
21:20Okay, so, does Rory head over to the kitchen?
21:23He could head over to the kitchen.
21:25Or maybe, actually, no, Ace.
21:27Maybe he was down talking to Ace.
21:29And that's when you would leap out from your hiding spot,
21:32and yes, you hit me with a hammer.
21:36Oh, good job.
21:38Good job.
21:40You're very good at this killing business.
21:42But something's wrong about this, hey buddy?
21:45What is it?
21:47I guess I would have carefully thought everything out.
21:51They picked a window to break in through.
21:53They knew when to do it so they could surprise Rory.
21:56Did they have a hiding spot?
21:59No, they probably just found that.
22:02Okay, so they were there,
22:03waiting with the hammer from Rory's tool chest.
22:10The hammer?
22:14Rex, that doesn't make sense, does it?
22:19So you think the hammer is the key?
22:21Well, think about it.
22:23The killer planned everything down to the last detail,
22:25except for the murder weapon.
22:27They randomly took that out of the victim's tool chest.
22:29Okay, but most people have a hammer in their house.
22:31But would you chance it?
22:33No, you would come prepared with something,
22:35which is what makes me wonder
22:37if the killer never actually planned on using a weapon.
22:39What do you mean?
22:41Methodical killers often prefer strangulation, right?
22:43This lets them exert maximum control over their victim.
22:46Okay, Sarah, but only a lunatic
22:48would try to kill Rory with their bare hands.
22:50The guy's six foot two and jacked.
22:52No, the thing is, these types of killers
22:54usually target women.
22:56Wait, hold on, are you suggesting
22:58that maybe Nina was the intended target?
23:00I think this is why we've had so much trouble
23:02gaining any traction on this case.
23:30So, if Nina Trenton is the intended target,
23:32who's the killer?
23:34Oh, definitely not Percy Godfrey.
23:36His motive was against Rory.
23:38Well, that puts us back at square one
23:40with no suspects.
23:46Actually, there is Colin Crawford.
23:49What if he put us onto the flowers
23:51on the first floor?
23:53I don't think he would.
23:55I don't think he would either.
23:56Colin Crawford.
23:58What if he put us onto the flowers on purpose?
24:00Why would he do that?
24:02To taunt us, just like Nina was taunted.
24:04And what's his motive?
24:06No idea, yet.
24:08Okay, does he have a history of violence against women?
24:10No, nothing in the system.
24:12Okay, let's dig into his past.
24:14Okay, first I'll, uh,
24:16go break the news to Nina that her
24:18husband may have been killed in her place.
24:20I really hate this part of the job.
24:23Yeah, me too.
24:26You got this.
24:32I know, buddy.
24:34Let's go do it.
24:41The victim's name was Tracy Adams.
24:43Early 30s, single.
24:45She was strangled in her own home.
24:47No prints, no motive, no suspects.
24:50A killer entered through a rear window.
24:53Okay, okay.
24:54And did they clean up after themselves?
24:56They did.
24:58Sounds like our killer's MO.
25:00And she had a dog?
25:02Yeah, it was a year-old mixed breed.
25:04Any idea what happened to it?
25:06We thought it probably ran away.
25:08Or the killer took it, but
25:10we had no idea why or what became of it.
25:12And you worked the case?
25:14I did. One of my first ones.
25:16Hell of a welcome to policing.
25:18Yeah, I bet.
25:20Listen, is there anyone that was close to Tracy
25:22that might be able to help me with this case?
25:25Maybe our stepfather.
25:27I met him during the initial investigation
25:29and we still keep up.
25:31Yeah, I'd appreciate that. Thank you.
25:33Got it.
25:35Okay.
25:38Nina, we've begun exploring a new theory about the murder.
25:41That the target wasn't Rory.
25:45It was you.
25:47Me?
25:48I don't understand.
25:50You're saying that Rory was killed
25:52when it was supposed to be me?
25:54It's possible, yeah.
25:56So we are going to need a list of people
25:59you might have had conflicts with back then.
26:02Ex-boyfriends who may have held a grudge.
26:04Anything.
26:06Am I in any sort of danger?
26:08We don't believe so.
26:10But why do you ask?
26:13For the last couple days,
26:15I've had this feeling that I'm being watched.
26:16Here in the house?
26:18No.
26:20On my way home after work.
26:23Why didn't you say something?
26:27I don't know.
26:29I thought it was just the pressure of everything.
26:32It's been really hard.
26:34Percy and I fought about Dr. God.
26:37He's moved out.
26:40I'm sorry that you're going through this.
26:42I...
26:43I'll have a few officers
26:45keep an eye on you over the next few days.
26:54Tracy loved to come here.
26:56We used to walk and talk
26:58and catch up on things.
27:00She was your stepdaughter?
27:02Yeah, I married her mom.
27:04But she passed away from a heart attack.
27:06That just left Tracy and me.
27:09Tom, I read the news.
27:10You found her?
27:12We were supposed to have breakfast,
27:14but she never showed.
27:16I went looking.
27:18Now, I know there were no suspects,
27:20but did you have any suspicions whatsoever?
27:22No.
27:24Tracy was quiet.
27:26Went to church.
27:28There were no men in her life.
27:30She was a great person.
27:35Can I ask you a question?
27:37Yes.
27:38Can I ask you a question?
27:40Sure.
27:42What does Tracy's death have to do
27:44with the murder of a cop in Newfoundland
27:46seven years ago?
27:48You know, both cases are very similar.
27:51The killer's MO.
27:53There was a dog.
27:55Patch.
27:57Patch.
27:59He and Tracy were best pals.
28:01What can you tell me about Patch?
28:03Shelter animal.
28:05Nothing really special, but really friendly.
28:06You want to see a picture?
28:08Yeah.
28:10Yeah, definitely.
28:12I love this photo.
28:14I keep it just for the good memories.
28:18Do you mind if I make a copy of this?
28:20Absolutely.
28:22Thanks.
28:36Oh, Rex, it's Charlie.
28:41Hey, Charlie.
28:43I see you're here, yeah.
28:45I'm at a...
28:47Oh, Charlie, Charlie, I can hardly hear you.
28:49Sorry, I'm at a bus station
28:51in Tres Reyes, just south of Tulum.
28:53What are you doing there?
28:55Found a local taxi driver
28:57who said he dropped Jack off here.
28:59What was he doing?
29:01Buying two tickets to Belize.
29:03Two tickets?
29:04Is there someone with him?
29:06I don't know,
29:08but I'm going to grab the bus and find out.
29:10Okay, hold on.
29:12How is your dad?
29:14I sent him home.
29:16There was nothing more that he could do.
29:18Listen, the bus is about to pull out.
29:20Oh, okay.
29:22Charlie, promise me that you'll be careful, okay?
29:24Don't worry.
29:26I will.
29:28Love you.
29:30Be good, Rex.
29:32Oh, Charlie.
29:34I love you.
29:39I know.
29:42I wish you were here, too.
30:00Hi.
30:02You've been up all night?
30:04Here I am.
30:06Listen, I couldn't stop thinking about your idea
30:08that Nina was the intended victim.
30:10Here, take that.
30:12You need that more than me.
30:14No, Nina, you keep it.
30:16Actually, you look like you could use it.
30:18I just look funny.
30:20Thanks.
30:22Was it Charlie?
30:24Yep.
30:26His phone dropped the connection again.
30:28He is making progress finding Jack, though.
30:30Okay, that's good news.
30:32Jesse, tell Sarah about what you found out in Toronto.
30:34Adam's.
30:36She was strangled three years ago.
30:38Her dog, Patch, also went missing.
30:40Now, here's a photo of Tracy.
30:43And here is a photo of Nina.
30:47Wow, they look really alike.
30:49Don't they?
30:51What about the crime scene?
30:53Any similarities there?
30:55Well, I mean, it's virtually the same MO,
30:57window entry, dog missing.
30:59So are we looking at the same perp?
31:01Well, the big difference is this victim was strangled.
31:02Wait, no, no.
31:04Methodical killers tend to repeat themselves.
31:06I know, so I went back through V-Class
31:08and filtered the results differently.
31:10Any matches?
31:12Unfortunately, yeah.
31:14Seven.
31:16Seven?
31:18All strangled.
31:20Similar crime scenes.
31:22Oh, my God, all the victims look like Nina.
31:24All these cases are unsolved.
31:26Yeah.
31:28Starts with Rory in St. John's, Tracy in Ontario,
31:30and then they moved west.
31:33But Jesse, this one in B.C.,
31:35that was just four months ago.
31:38We're tracking a serial killer.
31:41And one that's still active.
31:49So how do we catch this maniac?
31:51Well, I think we work out from the victims.
31:53So all brunette, petite, early 30s.
31:56They must represent something to the perp.
31:58Well, serial killers often come from dysfunctional families.
32:01Absent abusive parents,
32:03and the killer lashes out at them
32:05through the victims they choose.
32:07So what, you think the victim is a substitute
32:09for the killer's mother?
32:11Yeah, possibly.
32:16Rex is so obsessed with this toy.
32:18Maybe he's been trying to tell us
32:20there's something up with it.
32:22Let me see.
32:23Are you smelling something on this?
32:25I mean, that thing's been in an evidence bag for seven years.
32:27You think Rex is still picking up a scent?
32:29Well, canines have been known to detect cadavers
32:31after 25 years on the ground,
32:33so yeah, it's possible.
32:35Yeah, but what's he alerting to?
32:37The killer's blood.
32:40Why would the killer be bleeding?
32:42Because dogs bite.
32:44Hold on.
32:46You're saying that Ace attacked the killer?
32:48Yeah.
32:50And some of the blood was in his mouth.
32:51The killer?
32:53Yeah.
32:55And some of their blood must have ended up
32:57on the toy during the struggle.
32:59It would only be a trace,
33:01but it would be enough that Rex could smell it.
33:03But forensics analyzed this dog toy
33:05during the initial investigation
33:07and only found Ace's DNA.
33:09But the toy would have been covered
33:11in so much dog saliva
33:13that the technician might not have found other DNA in it.
33:15Fortunately, there have been advancements
33:17in spectrometry since then.
33:19I'm going to take this down to the lab.
33:21I think a flight of tents
33:23is looking pretty good for all this.
33:25I'm sure I was in BC four months ago.
33:27It's my regular route.
33:29What about seven years ago?
33:31What was your route back then?
33:33I mostly worked St. John's, Toronto.
33:35So you were in Ontario often.
33:37What's going on in here?
33:39What does any of this have to do with Rory's murder?
33:41Why don't you tell us?
33:52You recognize any of these women?
33:54No. Why should I?
33:56They're all murder victims.
33:58This is Tracy Adams.
34:02She was murdered
34:04four years after Rory was killed.
34:06Don't you think she looks a lot like Nina?
34:10Those flowers that you told me about,
34:12were they from you?
34:14What? This is insane.
34:16Is it?
34:18Because we think Nina was killed
34:19just like all of these other women.
34:21You're trying to pin
34:23all of these murders on me, aren't you?
34:25We're trying to find a serial killer, Colin.
34:27No, no, this is harassment.
34:29I'm going to file a lawsuit
34:31and you are so making my case for me.
34:39I spoke to his airline.
34:41Colin wasn't in the vicinity
34:43of four of the murders when they happened.
34:45Yeah, well, that definitely takes Crawford
34:47off the suspect list.
34:49Guys, hold on.
34:51Okay, okay, that's great. Thank you.
34:53Okay, so the lab techs
34:55were able to isolate a trace amount
34:57of human blood from the dog toy.
34:59They managed to extract DNA from it.
35:01And neither of them are Nina or Rory's?
35:03No, and there was a sample taken
35:05at the time of the murder for reference.
35:07No, it's most likely the killer's.
35:09Okay, did you run them through
35:11the National DNA Registry?
35:13Yeah, but there were no hits,
35:15so whoever's DNA this is,
35:17they were never convicted of a serious crime.
35:19I looked at the DNA biology database.
35:21I thought, you know,
35:23if we can't identify the killer directly,
35:25then maybe we can find a close relative.
35:27And they granted access?
35:29Yeah, all they needed was proof of immediate danger.
35:31Yeah, I think the presence of a serial killer
35:33qualifies as dangerous.
35:35So do they. And there was one match.
35:37Apparently a cousin of the killer
35:39lives here in St. John's.
35:41Okay.
35:43Okay, good work, Rex.
35:45Huh?
35:47That is a good nose you got.
35:49Thanks.
35:53I'm surprised.
35:55The police are looking for a first cousin of mine?
35:57I mean, I've got quite a few,
35:59but they're all good people.
36:01Well, I can help narrow it down some for you.
36:04We're looking for a female cousin
36:06who had a son.
36:08Well, I have 11 female cousins,
36:10and eight of them have boys.
36:12The son would have been here
36:14in St. John's seven years ago.
36:16Uh,
36:17most of the cousins live on the west coast
36:19by Stephenville.
36:21Two are here,
36:23but the one has a daughter,
36:25and the other one decided
36:27to keep her figure.
36:29Okay.
36:31So no one with a son was here?
36:33No, sorry.
36:37Actually,
36:39actually, Tanya was.
36:41God rest her soul.
36:43She passed away?
36:45Disappeared.
36:47About 10 years ago now.
36:49What happened?
36:51No one knows.
36:53I mean, Tanya lived a hard life.
36:55Lots of men,
36:57lots of parties, lots of booze,
36:59and I suspect drugs.
37:01I mean, it's a terrible thing to say,
37:03but I am not surprised something happened to her.
37:05And she had a son?
37:07Yes.
37:09I mean, she didn't provide much of a home life,
37:11but he was grown by the time she disappeared.
37:13Do you know what became of him?
37:14Well, he's done quite well for himself, actually.
37:17You may even have heard of him.
37:21Tanya Lang.
37:23She disappeared 10 years ago.
37:25It was an extensive search,
37:27but her body was never found.
37:29She looks like Nina and the other victims.
37:31So the killer's first victim
37:33might have been his mother, Tanya.
37:40Who's her son?
37:44Aubrey Anderson.
37:48Hi, Nina.
37:52We need to find him.
37:58I have something I've been meaning to return to you.
38:06Can I speak to Aubrey Anderson, please?
38:08I just tried Nina and she's not answering her cell.
38:10I'm gonna drop by her house.
38:12Okay, I'll have a cruiser go to her store.
38:14Okay.
38:16The hotel that Aubrey was staying at
38:18says he checked out an hour ago.
38:20Okay, talk to border control at the ferries and the airports.
38:22We are not letting Aubrey off this island.
38:24Rex, let's go.
38:29I want to apologize to you.
38:31I'm not interested in your apologies.
38:33I'm sorry about Rory,
38:35but it was your fault.
38:38See, you were always home by 6.14,
38:40but that night,
38:42you didn't leave work till 7.19.
38:44And because of that,
38:46Rory came home before you and,
38:48well, I had no choice.
38:51What?
38:53We need to finish something we
38:55started a long time ago.
38:59You know,
39:01you bear a striking resemblance to my mother.
39:05From the second I saw you, I thought that.
39:09But she wasn't much of a mother.
39:11I'm sorry that she treated you poorly,
39:12but I'm not your mother.
39:14And I think you should go.
39:40I know, Rex.
39:42I don't think so.
39:44Nina, are you there?
39:52Nina?
39:56Rex, go look around back.
40:13Rex!
40:19Rex!
40:26Help! He's inside!
40:28It's Aubrey! He just tried to kill me!
40:34SJPD! Aubrey!
40:42Aubrey!
40:56Aubrey, it's over.
40:59Thank you
41:01for stopping me, Detective.
41:13So?
41:15What's the latest on the case?
41:17Oh, Aubrey's undergoing a psych eval
41:19to see if he's fit to stand trial.
41:21I did a deep diving into his history, too.
41:23Turns out, Aubrey,
41:25he worked as a journalist across the country
41:27and he was in the vicinity of each of these victims
41:29at the time of their murders.
41:31What?
41:32Just, not yet. Wait.
41:34Okay.
41:35And he admitted to stealing Ace and Patch
41:37and setting them free.
41:38Why?
41:40He had a dog as a kid
41:42and, yeah, much unlike his mother.
41:44How's Nina doing?
41:46Uh, as well as can be expected.
41:48Yeah, she and Percy are trying to work things out.
41:50Hopefully they'll be okay.
41:52Good.
41:53Yeah.
41:54Good.
41:56Um, any word from Charlie?
41:58No, I haven't, um...
42:00I haven't heard from him in a while.
42:02I mean, the cell phone service down there is terrible,
42:04but, you know, still...
42:06I'm, um...
42:08Yeah, I'm getting worried.
42:12You know what? Let me make a few phone calls.
42:14I'll see if I can get in touch with the Mexican police
42:16and find out what's going on.
42:17Okay, that would be great. Joe?
42:19Of course.
42:23So...
42:25You gonna play some poker or what?
42:27Ooh.
42:28Yes, please.
42:30That would be nice.
42:32What do you say? A little spit in the ocean, huh?
42:34A little spit in the ocean?
42:35Yeah. Want to put it out?
42:36No, no, no, no. Texas Hold'em.
42:38Okay. Texas Hold'em.
42:39Texas Hold'em it is.
42:40Oh!
42:42Okay, you may not be the best dealer,
42:44but you do have an amazing poker face, Rex.
42:47All right, Rex. Omaha High it is.
42:50Good luck, Sarah.
42:52Oh, thanks.
42:54Next time on Hudson and Rex...
42:58Nancy Lake.
43:00Apparently one of the top beekeepers on the island.
43:02The queen is dead.
43:04Are you saying that someone killed Nancy
43:06to take over the Beekeepers Association?
43:08She's the vice president.
43:09I don't believe this.
43:11Nancy had just dumped me. My bees were dead.
43:17Search.
