In this episode, I will dive into everyone's worst nightmare; a completely random murder.  Melissa, 35, was found murdered and on fire on January 21st, 2013 by her scheduled dog walker. Melissa was a beloved and hard-working pediatrician, so police had no leads and scratched their heads as to why someone would commit such a violent crime. Surveillance footage of the area revealed an unlikely suspect. With cutting edge technology, police were able to identify their suspect and solve this case. Join me as I walk you through Melissa's story.
