Ep 6. Preying on the Innocent

As the title suggests, "Preying on the Innocent" centers around a particularly heart-wrenching case that Detective Joe Kenda and his colleagues must solve. The episode opens with the discovery of a young woman's body, found in the woods. The victim is eventually identified as a 19-year-old named Tara, who was reported missing by her mother a few days earlier.

Kenda interviews Tara's mother and learns that her daughter had been going through a rough patch, struggling with addiction and running with a bad crowd. As he looks into Tara's past, Kenda discovers that she had been involved with a man named Brandon, who was known to be abusive and controlling.

It's not long before Kenda discovers that Brandon is a prime suspect in Tara's murder. He interviews witnesses, digging deep to uncover any information that might lead to Brandon's arrest. Meanwhile, Tara's mother pleads with Kenda to bring her daughter's killer to justice.

Throughout the episode, Kenda and his team work tirelessly to build a case against Brandon. They interview his friends and associates, gathering evidence that paints a clearer picture of the kind of person he is. As they delve deeper, they discover that Brandon had a dark side that he had been hiding from those around him - a side that may have led him to commit this heinous crime.

As the investigation continues, Kenda reflects on the tragic loss of a young life and the pain it causes for the victim's loved ones. He describes the difficulty of bringing justice to cases like this, where the victim is often vulnerable and the perpetrator is someone they trusted.

In the end, Kenda and his team are able to gather enough evidence to arrest Brandon and charge him with Tara's murder. While there is some sense of closure for Tara's family, Kenda remains haunted by the reality that there will always be cases like this - cases where innocent people are preyed upon by those who should have protected them.
