Summary

Following the surprising arrest of a 20-year-old female, we hear from her former best friend who was as shocked as the public that she was responsible for such a brutal murder. For the first time Claire Forbes speaks publicly about her close friendship with a killer and how she was dragged into the investigation. We also learn of the parallels between murderess and her victim and their rural upbringings and eventual fateful move to the Granite City.
