About this episode

Sheriff Press investigates a series of assaults and murders linked to Realtors and a potential suspect with a grudge.

Sheriff Press had a grand theory about the ultimate suspect in this case. She put it all together when she noticed a pattern. All of the women who were assaulted were out-of-town visitors. But all of the women who were murdered had something in common. They were Realtors. And there was only one man in town with a grudge against Realtors. Was he behind all this? The only problem was ... this guy had been murdered as well. This is part 20 of the 8th season of Crime Adjacent: the untold story of the Michigan Nightstalker.
