On a typical Monday in Des Moines in 1967 a mother of 3 is found stabbed in her home, while her husband is at work. She was still alive when the ambulance arrived but died on the way to the hospital. Neighbors believed they saw the person responsible arrive and leave, but his presence at the house didn't arouse suspicion until he was long gone. This is the murder of Leota Camp.
