They also discover that Smith had a history of violence and had been arrested for assault years prior.
As they delve deeper into the case, the Cold Squad team begins to suspect that Smith's death was not a random act of violence, but rather a targeted attack by someone who had a personal vendetta against him. They focus their investigation on a handful of suspects, including a rival coach, a former player, and a disgruntled parent.
As the episode unfolds, the Cold Squad team uncovers more and more evidence that points to the killer's identity. But just when they think they have cracked the case, they are hit with a surprising twist that throws everything into question.
