Karen begins going to the support groups and finds people going through the same thing she is. Denillo tells her they caught the guy responsible for the death of her daughter and there should be no problem in convicting him based on the DNA evidence.

Robert Doob (Kiefer Sutherland) is charged with the crime and his DNA matches, but because of a technicality his case is thrown out. Determined to find something to make Doob pay for his crime, Karen begins to track his every move to the point of stalking him.
