Summary

Kay Thomasson was fatally stabbed at her Atlanta suburb home by a killer who took her car and abandoned it at an apartment complex several miles away. Security video shows a man walking near the crime scene and police are offering a $100,000 reward for help finding him. Nancy Grace digs into the case with former federal prosecutor Francey Hakes, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Bober, prosecutor Kenya Johnson, and reporter John Lemley. Joleen Cummings disappeared over 2 months ago, but a woman who was seen in security video driving her car has been jailed. Grace updates the search for Cummings with forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan, psychologist Caryn Stark, lawyer & juvenile judge Ashley Willcott, and CrimeOnline.com reporter Leigh Egan.
