In Homicide Hunter season 5 episode 3, entitled "Dead on Target," retired police detective Lieutenant Joe Kenda takes viewers on another gripping investigation as he recounts the case of the murder of Krystal Jean Baker. The episode begins with Kenda setting the scene, describing how on a sunny afternoon in August 1992, the peaceful neighborhood of Black Forest, Colorado was rocked when a resident discovered the lifeless body of 19-year-old Krystal Jean Baker lying in a field.

Kenda takes viewers through the initial investigation, where detectives were puzzled by the circumstances surrounding Krystal's death. She had been shot in the back of the head, with no obvious motive or suspects. The only clue left at the scene was a single .22 caliber bullet casing, which led investigators to believe the killer used a cheap, off-brand gun.

As Kenda delves deeper into the case, he takes viewers through the complex web of relationships surrounding Krystal, including her ex-boyfriend David Fisher and his brother, Stephen, who had a history of erratic and violent behavior. Kenda also reveals that Krystal was keeping a secret journal, which helped detectives piece together the events leading up to her murder and shed light on the suspects.

Throughout the episode, Kenda interviews friends, family members, and witnesses, all of whom help contribute to a timeline of events that eventually leads to the arrest and conviction of Krystal's killer, Stephen Fisher. Kenda's in-depth analysis of the evidence and his unwavering determination to seek justice for Krystal allows viewers to experience the intricacies of a murder investigation firsthand.

The episode also features Kenda's signature storytelling style, which combines gritty realism with wry humor and insight into the criminal mind. His personal anecdotes from his time as a detective, combined with reenactments and archival footage, paint a vivid picture of the crime and the investigation that followed.

Overall, "Dead on Target" is a riveting episode of Homicide Hunter that offers viewers a compelling insight into the work of police detectives and the complex nature of murder investigations. With Kenda's deadpan delivery and unflinching honesty, the episode offers a captivating glimpse into the criminal justice system, one that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
