Summary

Susan Simpson, Jacinda Davis, and Kevin Fitzpatrick investigate how 33-year-old Ty Lopes becomes a suspect in the rape and murder of Renee Ramos. The hosts talk to Lopes’ family, including his daughter Mandi, to get a better understanding of his relationship with his co-defendant Jake Silva and in the process uncover new information about Lopes’ dealings with the Manteca Police Department. After his arrest, Lopes is confident forensics will clear his name and that he’ll be able to come home to his daughter.
