Description
An arrest, two trials, and a heartbroken father.
After Cara Knott was murdered in December of 1986 police honed in on a suspect, one of their own, California Highway Patrolman, Craig Peyer.
Nineteen days after the murder Peyer was arrested but it would take two trials before a jury finally rendered a verdict.
