Episode 6: The Divorcée
Hastings, Nebraska - Part II
The investigation into the murders of Hazel Bird and Clarence Yager draws investigators from across Nebraska and from as far as Indiana. Intriguing persons of interest blow into and out of town in the weeks around the murders. And the police have a surplus of theories when it comes to what motivated the killings, most of which center around Hazel Bird's love life.
Episode 5: The Widower
Another three weeks pass with no new Lovers' Lane murders. A couple in Nebraska, brought together by the eerily similar tragedies that have shaped their lives, takes an automobile ride one summer Sunday night and never returns.
The strange clues found at the murder scene raise more questions than they answer. And the town's recent rash of robberies might mean that the killer has been lurking for a while.
Chapter 4: The Foursome
Two weeks after the Illinois attacks that left Ivan Blake dead and Frances Shuster wounded, a group of young adults are out for a carefree summer night in Denver when everything goes horrifically awry.
The case takes strange twists and turns over the years, with unexpected witnesses and odd tales that don't line up. Does it fit with the other cases, or is this an entirely new murderer stalking Lovers' Lane?
