Summary

Erin Moriarty sits down face-to-face with killer Mario Garcia in prison after he is charged and convicted for the murder of Christie Wilson. Even with a unanimous jury convicting him, he still insists on his innocence. Mario answers directly to pieces of the story that don’t make sense, like why Christie’s DNA was in his car, how he got a black eye after that night, and why his wife, Jean Garcia, did not testify. Erin goes inside the mind of Mario, his history of hurting women, and the lies he managed to cover in the past 15 years. An extension of the 48 Hours episode "The Search for Christie Wilson.”
