If I Can't Have You, No One Can is the seventh episode of Cold Justice's fourth season. The show, presented by former prosecutor Kelly Siegler and veteran investigator Steve Spingola, follows the duo as they investigate cold cases that have long been unsolved by law enforcement.
In this episode, Kelly and Steve are called to Fort Myers, Florida, to investigate the 2012 murder of 20-year-old Ryan Vanderson. Ryan, a popular aspiring rapper, was shot and killed in his car outside of his apartment complex amidst a heated argument with his ex-girlfriend, Raquel Wehby.
The local police initially investigated Raquel as a suspect, but they could not find enough evidence to charge her with the murder. However, as Kelly and Steve delve deeper into the case, they uncover new evidence that could link Raquel to Ryan's death.
The investigation takes the duo to Ryan's hometown of Tampa, where they speak to his family and friends who describe him as a kind, generous, and talented young man. They also reveal that Ryan and Raquel's relationship was volatile and that Ryan had tried to break up with her multiple times.
Meanwhile, Kelly and Steve work with forensic specialists to analyze the crime scene and the evidence that was collected during the initial investigation. They discover that the bullet that killed Ryan came from a rare, expensive gun that Raquel had bought just days before the murder.
As they continue to build their case against Raquel, Kelly and Steve encounter resistance from some of the local law enforcement officers who are defensive about the original investigation. However, they remain focused on finding justice for Ryan and his family, who have been waiting for years for someone to be held accountable for his death.
The episode culminates in a dramatic confrontation between Kelly, Steve, and Raquel, in which they present their evidence and challenge her alibi for the night of the murder. Will Raquel confess to killing Ryan or will the case remain unsolved?
Overall, If I Can't Have You, No One Can is a gripping and emotional episode that showcases Kelly and Steve's expertise and determination to solve cold cases and provide closure for victims' families.
