True crime is littered with cases of killers who tied to throw investigators off their tracks. These cases are also littered with the tiny, dumb mistakes these killers made that ultimately led to their demise.

The out of place pizza box. The tiny trace of DNA. The wild story of a late-night trip through a blizzard that was most definitely not an impromptu alibi attempt.

Which is all to say, true crime has grown accustomed to bizarre cases like these and the strange, unbelievable stories murderers come up with to throw police off the track.

But Detective Jones and Chief Williams both agreed: Detectives are not born yesterday. They, too, studied these cases. They knew all the ways killers try to elude capture. And they knew almost from the start. The same thing was playing out in Ridgewood.
