Fans of true crime will be excited to tune in to season 2, episode 2 of Cold Case Files Classic. Titled "Murder On The Menu/Traces Of Murder," this episode delves into the investigation surrounding the unsolved murder of a young woman named Natalie Antonetti.
Natalie was just 18 when she was brutally murdered in her own home. Her body was discovered by her mother, who had become concerned after not hearing from Natalie for several days. Immediately, investigators began to piece together the events leading up to her death.
Their first clue was a disturbing note that had been left near Natalie's body. The note was written in red ink and contained a chilling message: "I kill because I can." This led police to believe that they were dealing with a serial killer.
Over the course of the episode, police work tirelessly to uncover any and all leads that might help them catch Natalie's killer. They interview friends and family members, hoping to find someone with a motive for the murder. They also look into Natalie's personal life, trying to determine if she was involved in any risky behaviors that might have made her a target.
Their investigation eventually leads them to a suspect: a man named Gordon Kimmons. Kimmons was a culinary school dropout who had once worked with Natalie at a local restaurant. He had a history of violent behavior and seemed to fit the profile of the kind of person who would leave a note like the one found near Natalie's body.
However, despite their suspicions, police were never able to gather enough evidence to charge Kimmons with Natalie's murder. He was eventually convicted on unrelated charges and is currently serving time in prison.
The second half of the episode deals with the investigation of another murder, this time in rural Iowa. In this case, a farmer named Gary Tison was found dead in his home, the victim of a brutal beating. The killer had left few clues behind, and police were initially stumped as to who could have committed the crime.
However, after conducting a thorough investigation, they were able to identify a suspect: a neighbor of Tison's named Robert Smith. Smith had a history of mental illness and had been seen acting strangely in the days leading up to the murder. He was eventually charged and convicted of Tison's death.
Throughout this episode, viewers will be on the edge of their seats as they follow the investigations into these two shocking murders. With twists and turns around every corner, "Murder On The Menu/Traces Of Murder" is a must-watch for fans of true crime and police procedurals alike.
