In the bitter cold of a 1989 Pittsburgh winter, Dr. Jeffrey Farcus appeared to have everything going for him.

A respected doctor. A man dedicated to helping children. And someone known by friends and patients for his warmth, infectious smile, and ability to make even the most frightened child feel safe.

But one winter night, the ordinary routine of his life was shattered.

Dr. Farcus was brutally murdered, leaving behind a crime scene that would haunt investigators and a mystery that raised one chilling question:

Who would want a children's doctor dead?

In this episode of Terrified, we examine the murder of Dr. Jeffrey Farcus, the circumstances surrounding his death, and the questions that lingered long after the crime scene was gone.

Sometimes the most terrifying crimes aren't committed in dark alleys.

Sometimes they happen behind the closed doors of an ordinary home.

And sometimes the person who walks through that door is someone the victim never expected to fear.

This is Terrified.

The Doctor Who Never Came Home.
