主持人：本集讲述了谢丽琳·霍克利和辛西娅·斯特罗两起发生在加利福尼亚州格兰特湾的谋杀案。谢丽琳是一位备受爱戴的老师，在1993年万圣节被发现死于自己的车内，死因是勒死。辛西娅在1991年失踪，三个星期后被发现遇害，死因也是勒死。两起案件都发生在相对安全的郊区，凶手似乎都认识受害者。警方调查了谢丽琳的男友和前夫，以及辛西娅的家人，但都没有找到确凿证据。两起案件中都发现了指纹，但其他证据尚未公开。警方怀疑可能与连环杀手有关，甚至有人怀疑是臭名昭著的黄金州杀手。目前，两起案件都尚未结案。
谢丽琳的女儿：谢丽琳的女儿希望找到杀害母亲的凶手，以获得心灵慰藉，尽管这无法让母亲复活。她希望通过分享母亲的故事，能够帮助警方破案，并为其他受害者家庭带来希望。
警方：警方表示，谢丽琳的案件已经确认了凶手，但仍在等待确凿证据进行逮捕。他们正在调查两起案件之间的联系，并希望通过DNA技术能够解决这两起案件。他们呼吁任何知情人士提供线索。
