A man with no criminal record. A steady job. A girlfriend who loved him. Neighbors who described him as quiet but friendly. He was the last person anyone would suspect. Before the children disappeared, he was invisible. After the children disappeared, he became the focus of the largest manhunt in state history.In this episode, I examine the investigation that revealed a suspect's hidden past. The man had been charged with crimes years earlier, but the records were sealed. He had been accused of inappropriate behavior with minors, but the cases were dismissed. He had been fired from a job for reasons that were never disclosed. Before the children disappeared, none of this was public. After the children disappeared, detectives dug into his past and found a pattern of behavior that had been ignored for years.The interrogation lasted six hours. The suspect maintained his innocence throughout. He passed a polygraph. He provided alibis that checked out. But the evidence was overwhelming. His DNA was found on one of the victim's belongings. His phone placed him at the disposal site. A neighbor's security camera captured his vehicle leaving the area at 3 AM. The suspect was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the shocking truth about the suspect was hiding in plain sight. No one was looking.
