Summary
After receiving a 911 call from a concerned neighbor, police come upon a violent home invasion in a normally quiet neighborhood. One person is dead and another is struggling for her life. Lieutenant John, a homicide investigator with the DA's office, is called out to the scene to help local authorities. In one of the many twists in this case, a chance meeting with a bystander leads John down the foreboding path of a suspect who is far more cunning and dangerous than he first appears.
The detective: Homicide Lieutenant John
Homicide Lieutenant John spent more than two decades as a police officer, including 17 years as a Senior Homicide Inspector. Following his retirement from the force, John spent eight years as senior inspector in the homicide unit of his county’s District Attorney's Office. He was then promoted to Lieutenant and now supervises other senior inspectors. He has investigated more than 400 homicide cases over the course of his career.

| 0:00.0 | Hey Small Towneown Fam, it's Yardley. How are you guys? I hope you're all well and thriving. Welcome to season 14. Yes. So I was thinking as I was listening to the edit of this |
| 0:17.7 | episode how Dan and Dave have said time and time again that the police are largely reactive, not proactive, because it's not |
| 0:28.8 | illegal to say, I wish you were dead. |
| 0:32.0 | It may be cruel, but it's not a crime. So until you actually |
| 0:36.8 | kill someone or try to, the police can't do anything. The case that new guest lieutenant John brings us today illustrates |
| 0:45.9 | this very dilemma when he gets called out to a murder and during his investigation |
| 0:51.3 | finds a trove of evidence that surely seems to indicate the suspect was planning |
| 0:56.7 | a killing spree. You're also going to hear about two very brave witnesses who could have kept themselves to themselves and not |
| 1:04.4 | spoken up. But one called 911 and the other approached Lieutenant John in the |
| 1:09.6 | field to say, um, is this related to that? |
| 1:14.0 | It made me think of the age we're living in these days, |
| 1:17.0 | where there's so little privacy thanks to cell phones and the internet. |
| 1:21.0 | And yet, people are more reluctant than ever to come to the aid of a stranger. |
| 1:26.6 | So thank God the two curious neighbors in this case came forward and said something. |
| 1:31.4 | We'll never know how many lives they saved. Here is signs of a |
| 1:36.7 | serial killer. |
| 1:39.4 | Hi there, I'm Yardley. I'm Dan. I'm Dave and I'm Paul. And this is small town |
| 1:46.3 | Dix. Dave and I are identical twins and retired detectives from small town |
| 1:50.5 | USA. And I'm a veteran cold case investigator who helped catch the golden state killer using |
| 1:55.0 | a revolutionary DNA tool. |
| 1:57.6 | Between the three of us, we've investigated thousands of crimes from petty theft to sexual |
