January 21st, 1962.

Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

Authorities arrive at the burning home of Edward Maps to discover that his wife Pristine

has been bludgeoned to death and their four-month-old daughter Julie Louise has died of smoke inhalation.

We know who committed the crime and why they did it, but the only thing we don't know is where the perpetrator is hiding.

But then there are those rare cases in which there's some ambiguity about whether or not the fugitive actually committed the crime they're wanted for.

What if someone else committed the crime and the wanted fugitive was actually an innocent victim?
