Nearly three decades after the murders of Julie Williams and Lollie Winans, a new team inside the FBI's Richmond field office reopened the Shenandoah case. This time, the science had changed. With funding from the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), old evidence was retested using technology that hadn't existed in 1996.

What they found would break the silence of the case, and finally name the man responsible. As DNA revealed a serial offender with a violent past, investigators finally closed one of the darkest chapters in national park history.

Episode Five traces the final steps of the investigation, the life of Walter Leo Jackson Sr., and the legacy Julie and Lollie left behind...a story about freedom, fear, and the fight to feel safe in the wild.
