Summary

Hope College Film instructor David Schock came across Janet's story in the spring of 2003 while interviewing a detective who was retiring from the Holland police force. Schock asked if there was one case that still haunted the cop. Pointing to a photo of Janet that had been hanging on a bulletin board since 1979, the detective replied, "That Chandler case." Professor Schock thought the 24 year old mystery of the murdered former Hope student would be a good project for his class. "I don't want you to think that we are going to solve this murder," Schock told his students. Instead by making a documentary about the case, they should aim to revive Janet's memory…that, they did, and by doing that, they exposed a dark truth no one saw coming.
