ABOUT THIS EPISODE

A quiet summer night takes a terrifying turn when a woman discovers someone she knows has broken into her home, intent on hurting her. What follows is an hours-long, harrowing fight for survival and an all-hands-on-deck search for a dangerous suspect.

Our own Detective Dan shares this chilling home invasion case, taking us inside the meticulous police investigation, the race to find the suspect and one woman’s extraordinary determination to survive.

Detective Dan was formerly a K9 handler and Violent Crimes detective at the same Small Town police department as his brother, Dave. Dan regards his years as a K9 handler to be the most rewarding of his career. He is now retired.
