Caspersen Beach — Janet Heijens

A mother's worst nightmare occurred on a sunny Florida beach. Melanie Troy told her older child, Carrie Ann to watch little Savannah while she went nearby to buy ice cream for the girls. Minutes later, Savannah was gone. Carrie Ann, only nine at the time, gave police a clear-eyed description of the kidnapper. Months later Savannah's remains were discovered on nearby Caspersen Beach. The homeless man who found her, Randy Cousins, hoped to collect the reward money for finding the body. When Detective Lalo Sanchez put Cousins in a line-up, Carrie Ann did not hesitate to identify him as Savannah's abductor. After four hours of deliberation, the jury unanimously found Cousins guilty. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Twenty years later a deathbed confession of a confused homeless woman brings new light to the case. Recognizing the potential that she got the wrong man, Detective Geri Garibaldi enlists the help of retired lawyer Cate Stokes who joins with Lalo Sanchez to prove the innocence of a man who was wrongfully convicted of murder. The stakes are raised when another child goes missing.
