In Pursuit with John Walsh season 3 episode 4 titled "Letters from a Predator" focuses on an unsettling case of a perpetrator who left behind a trail of disturbing letters that were sent to unsuspecting victims.

The episode begins with John Walsh introducing the case and giving a brief outline of the events that unfolded. He explains that a predator had somehow acquired the addresses of several young women and had sent them letters with explicit and threatening content. The women, who did not know each other, were all terrified and had no idea who could be behind these letters.

The police were contacted, and an investigation was launched to identify the sender of these letters. However, they struggled to make any progress as the letters did not contain any fingerprints or distinctive handwriting. The only information they had was the postmark location of where the letters were sent from, which was a small town in upstate New York.

John Walsh travels to the town to meet with local law enforcement officers and to get a better understanding of the case. He interviews the lead detective who has been working on the case for several years and learns that even with the postmark location, they have made little headway in identifying the perpetrator.

John Walsh then meets with one of the victims, who shares how the letters shook her to the core. She recalls how the letters left her feeling vulnerable and forced her to live in fear.

In an effort to bring attention to the case, John Walsh meets with the local media to discuss the letters and to ask for the public's help. He appeals to anyone who has information to come forward, declaring that the person behind the letters is a danger to society and must be brought to justice.

The episode follows John Walsh as he looks at other cases of predators using letters as a means to harass and intimidate their victims. He speaks with a handwriting expert who explains how these kinds of criminals often use very specific techniques to remain anonymous.

To get a better understanding of the perpetrator's behavior, the team brings in a criminal profiler to analyze the letters. The profiler explains how the letters reveal a lot about the kind of person who wrote them and what kind of behavior they are likely to exhibit in the future.

Despite the investigation being ongoing for several years, there have been no arrests in the case. John Walsh urges anyone who has information to come forward and helps to keep the case in the public eye. The episode concludes with John Walsh reflecting on the case and the importance of bringing these kinds of predators to justice.

In conclusion, In Pursuit with John Walsh season 3 episode 4 "Letters from a Predator" is a gripping episode that highlights the frightening reality of how predators use letters to harass and intimidate their victims.
