The police have no leads as to who could have committed this heinous crime until a teary-eyed informant comes forward with information about a man by the name of Jesse Eldridge. Jesse had been involved in a romantic relationship with the victim's daughter, who was just a teenager at the time of the murder.
As the investigation progresses, more and more evidence begins to pile up against Jesse. Investigators find fingerprints and DNA samples on the victim's clothing and around her home.

Throughout the episode, viewers watch as two detectives interrogate Jesse in the hopes of getting a confession out of him. The detectives push and prod, throwing evidence and theories at Jesse to try and get him to crack. The tension builds as viewers watch Jesse's demeanor shift from cool and collected to agitated and nervous.
Meanwhile, the victim's family is left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. Interviews with the victim's daughter and other family members show the devastating impact that the murder has had on their close-knit community. The victim's daughter struggles to come to terms with the fact that someone she trusted could have done something so monstrous, while other family members grapple with the reality that justice may never be fully served.
As the interrogation continues, viewers are left wondering whether or not Jesse Eldridge will eventually confess to the murder. The detectives' tactics are unrelenting, and Jesse's lies and alibis are consistently tripped up by the weight of the evidence against him. However, as with all Criminal Confessions episodes, the truth is not revealed until the final moments of the show's gripping conclusion.
