When a worried father arrives looking for his son who was friends with the missing stepson, the case takes a devastating turn. "We've got two more over here," comes the chilling call that changes everything.The investigation spans from Lexington to Shively to Louisville in Kentucky as detectives work through the night, processing multiple crime scenes, interviewing witnesses, and coordinating with other jurisdictions - all while a mother endures the unimaginable reality of losing her husband and facing the possibility her son was responsible.
