Episode overview
When Debe Atrops was murdered, her daughter, Rhianna Stephens, was just 8 months old. More than 30 years later, a cold case team from Washington County took a fresh look at the case by talking to witnesses and running new tests on old evidence. The team thought they had enough to prosecute Debe’s estranged husband at the time of her murder, Bob Atrops, who is also Stephens’s father. Stephens is convinced they have the wrong man—after losing her mother, she fears losing her father too.
