Summary
Robin Lawrence was stabbed to death in her home on November 18, 1994. She was stabbed 49 times and her body wasn't found for two days. Her two-year-old daughter, Nicole, was not harmed, but for two days she went without food, water, or her necessary medication having had a liver transplant as an infant. Evidence was found, including DNA, but no arrest was made and the case went cold. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack talk about the background of the case and how a detective noticed a brown stain on a washcloth that contained all the evidence needed to catch the killer....30 years after the murder.

| 0:09.8 | You know the term serial killer. |
| 0:15.4 | It's not something that's been around for a long, long time. |
| 0:19.9 | Matter of fact, there's kind of a famous television |
| 0:22.5 | show that's based on an equally famous book written by John Douglas, Mind Hunter. And that |
| 0:30.2 | book and the television show kind of explore the idea of the origins of that terminology. |
