Ep 6. The One That Got Away

Detective Ali McCormick is called to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town to investigate a potential homicide. The victim, a young woman named Sarah Richards, had been missing for several weeks before her body was discovered. As Ali examines the crime scene, she realizes that this is not an ordinary case and that she may be dealing with a serial killer.

Back at the Cold Squad headquarters, Ali briefs her teammates on the details of the case. The team, led by Sergeant Frank Coscarella, includes Detective Tony Logozzo, Detective Mickey Kollander, and Detective Nicco Sevallis. Together, they analyze the evidence and establish a timeline of Sarah's last known whereabouts.

As they delve deeper into Sarah's life, the team discovers that she had recently broken up with her long-term boyfriend, Mark Anderson. They bring Mark in for questioning and quickly realize that he is hiding something. As the interrogation intensifies, Mark confesses to being involved in Sarah's disappearance but insists that he is not responsible for her death. The team must now determine whether Mark is telling the truth or trying to protect someone else.

Meanwhile, new evidence comes to light that links Sarah's case to several other unsolved murders in the area.
