True Crime
A brutal murder that shocked residents of Missouri—and a
killer it took 25 years to bring to justice... On June 17, 1985, twenty-year-old beauty pageant winner
Jackie Johns's car was found abandoned, the interior
drenched in blood. Four days later, her bludgeoned, nude
body was found floating in a nearby lake. Sheriff Dwight
McNiel vowed to catch Jackie's killer, however long it took.
His prime suspect: local rich kid Gerald Carnahan. But
despite suspicions, the evidence never managed to add up,
and Carnahan slipped away again and again. Throughout the next two decades, multiple other women went
missing, some murdered, some never found. Fearful residents
believed that a murderous bogeyman was connected to all
these crimes. Carnahan's conviction on the attempted
kidnapping charge of another young woman brought his name
into the mix over and over again--but all of the cases
remained unsolved for decades, until a highway patrol
sergeant sent DNA from the Jackie Johns's murder for testing
and came up with a quadrillions-to-one match to Carnahan. This is the true account of a murderer who thought he was
beyond punishment, and the lawmen who would not relent until
justice was finally done.
