About this episode

The episode explores a mysterious incident involving two women, one claiming to be a victim and the other accusing her of theft, leaving police to determine the truth.

On April 21st 2001, a woman who was covered in blood, burst through the doors of a Kentucky Fried Chicken screaming for someone to call 911. Through her hysterical pleas, employees at the KFC managed to figure out that her name was Melissa Latham and that she was claiming a man and woman had tried to kill her. As paramedics and police arrived and tended to Melissa, a well dressed woman named Tonica Jenkins walked in, urging police to stop Melissa. Tonica claimed Melissa had just stolen $1,000 from her however she had nothing to do with her assault. With both women coming across as believable and many unanswered questions, police needed to figure out which one was telling the truth.
