Summary

Episode 9: Jennifer Watkins

In November 1999, married mom of two Jennifer Watkins had just started a full-time job at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO. On a Friday night, she finished her shift, and everyone assumed she went home. But she didn’t go home. In fact, she never left the hospital alive. And even though her body was found in a restricted access area, no one saw Jennifer, or anyone else, go in. Someone close to Jennifer was considered the prime suspect for years, but he denied it. And it turned out, he was telling the truth. Her killer was someone else altogether.
