Episode Summary:
This episode examines the kidnapping and murder of Polly Klaas from her Petaluma, CA home in October of 1993. We look at the search, the investigation and the holes in the system that delayed resolution. Finally, we will see how those shortcomings fueled the family to close those systemic gaps. In the end, it brought a wonderful dog to a family that needed to feel safe.
