Description
We're back! New year, new series! This series involves cases that went cold for a time but heat back up and eventually are solved. Also, this IS a two part episode which we forget to say until about halfway through. Irene Garza was a beauty queen who taught less fortunate children. The Saturday before Easter in 1960, she goes to mass and confession but never returns home. Five days later her body is found in a canal. The only suspect is a priest. But this wasn't something you really said out loud...
