Ep 13. Blood Sisters

In Homicide Hunter season 3 episode 13, titled "Blood Sisters," Lieutenant Joe Kenda investigates a case involving two sisters who are found dead inside their home. The episode starts with a 911 call reporting the discovery of the bodies of the women, who were brutally beaten and strangled. One of the sisters, the older of the two, was a retired school teacher who lived with her younger sister, who suffered from schizophrenia.

Kenda starts his investigation by talking to the neighbors and family members of the victims. He quickly learns that the sisters were well-liked in the community, but the younger sister's mental illness often caused her to act erratically and sometimes violently. Kenda also discovers that the younger sister had a history of drug abuse, which could have contributed to her violent behavior.

As the investigation continues, Kenda uncovers evidence that suggests that the sisters may have been involved in a dispute with a neighbor over a property line. The neighbor, who had a history of conflict with the sisters, is initially considered a suspect in the murders. However, Kenda's team soon discovers that the neighbor has a solid alibi and is not involved in the crime.

Kenda's investigation then takes him to a local drug dealer who had been seen with the younger sister shortly before the murders. The dealer initially denies having anything to do with the crime, but Kenda manages to gather enough evidence to obtain a search warrant for the dealer's home. There, they discover physical evidence linking the dealer to the murders, including bloody clothing and the murder weapon.

As Kenda and his team close in on the killer, they learn that the older sister had a secret that could have played a role in the crime. It's a shocking revelation that uncovers a motive for the brutal killings and provides closure for the victims' family and friends.

Throughout the episode, Kenda's trademark wit and dry humor are on full display as he navigates the twists and turns of the investigation. His dogged determination to solve the case and bring justice to the victims is both inspiring and entertaining to watch. Overall, "Blood Sisters" is a gripping and suspenseful episode that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
