Detectives look back on one of the most unsettling cases they ever worked — the murder committed by Rodrigo Hernandez, later known as the Grand Rapids Killer. When Susan Verstegen was attacked and killed while working alone in a Texas supermarket, investigators were left with few leads and a crime that appeared to make no sense. This documentary retraces the investigation step by step, revealing how Hernandez targeted a complete stranger, how early assumptions misled police, and how the truth slowly emerged. Through firsthand accounts from detectives and an examination of the evidence, this film explores how a seemingly random act of violence challenged investigators — and exposed the chilling mindset of a killer hiding in plain sight.
