Episode IV: The Investigation Begins 

Though authorities look at multiple suspects, including Aunt Vicki’s boyfriend, authorities soon focus in on the last person known to have seen Tammy- her boyfriend, Eric Stukel. His comments and behavior result in suspicion, his car is seized, and he fails a polygraph...but soon goes silent. Investigators find evidence indicating something is amiss with his story and believe Tammy had been put in the trunk of his car, then dragged across a highway to where she would be found. The six-agency task force would become stuck trying to develop more evidence and pressed with a statute of limitations on manslaughter charges, they play their hand and arrest Eric. A vigil will be held in Tammy’s memory as a symbol of hope for resolution...and Yankton awaits justice.
