Within Arm's Reach is an episode of Forensic Files season 8 that delves into the mysterious death of a young woman named Tammy Tatum. Tammy was found murdered in her own home, and the case quickly became one of the most intriguing and puzzling cases in the history of forensic science.

The episode begins with the discovery of Tammy's body by her roommate. When the police arrived on the scene, they found no signs of forced entry and no indication of a struggle. Despite this, it was clear that Tammy had been brutally murdered, and the police immediately launched an investigation into the crime.

As the investigation got underway, the police started to piece together Tammy's last hours. They quickly learned that Tammy had been seen with a man named Donzell McCauley on the night of her murder. Donzell was a known criminal with a long history of violence, and the police were convinced that he was their prime suspect.

Despite intense questioning, however, Donzell refused to confess to the crime, and the police were left with little forensic evidence to implicate him. It wasn't until a team of forensic experts got involved that the case began to yield results.

Working with a variety of cutting-edge forensic techniques, the experts were able to uncover a wealth of information about the crime. They discovered that Tammy had been choked, and that her killer had used a pillowcase to wrap around her head and suffocate her. They were even able to match hairs found at the crime scene to Donzell's DNA.

Armed with this evidence, the police were finally able to arrest Donzell and charge him with Tammy's murder. At trial, Donzell maintained his innocence, and his defense team tried to argue that there was insufficient evidence to link him to the crime.

In the end, however, the forensic evidence proved too strong, and Donzell was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison. The case of Tammy Tatum is a powerful reminder of the incredible power of forensic science in solving crimes, and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the experts who make it all possible.
