This episode details the harrowing investigation into the 2010 disappearance and murder of three people and the kidnapping of a young girl in Knox County, Ohio. After a wellness check revealed a violent crime scene, authorities utilized surveillance footage to identify and apprehend Matthew Hoffman.

Following days of intense interrogation and a formal confession, the suspect led investigators to a hollow tree containing the remains of the other victims.
