Ep 6. Snapshot to Murder

In season 7 episode 6 of On The Case With Paula Zahn, titled Snapshot to Murder, viewers are taken on a journey through the investigation surrounding the murder of a young woman.

The episode begins with the discovery of 18-year-old Brittany Clardy's body in a vacant house in Minnesota. The evidence points to a gruesome death, as Brittany had been bound and beaten before she was killed.

As police begin their investigation, they discover that Brittany had been working as a prostitute, which leads them to look into the underground world of prostitution in the area. Through interviews with other sex workers and their clients, they learn more about Brittany's lifestyle and the people she associated with.

One of the key pieces of evidence in the case comes from a snapshot taken with Brittany's cell phone. The photo shows her lying on a bed, with a pair of jean shorts and a shirt next to her. Through forensic analysis of the photo, investigators are able to identify the bedspread as belonging to a hotel in Wisconsin.

This leads them to a suspect, who had rented a room at the hotel around the same time that the photo was taken. However, the suspect claims that he was not involved in Brittany's death, and that he only knew her as a prostitute.

As the investigation continues, detectives uncover more evidence that seems to implicate the suspect. They find DNA evidence on the bedspread that matches him and discover surveillance footage of his car near the vacant house where Brittany's body was found.

However, the suspect maintains his innocence, and his family and friends stand by him. The case goes to trial, and the prosecution presents a compelling case against him. Meanwhile, the defense argues that there is not enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect is guilty.

In the end, the jury must decide whether the evidence presented is enough to find the suspect guilty of Brittany's murder. Viewers are taken on a rollercoaster ride through the investigation and court proceedings, leaving them on the edge of their seats until the very end.

On The Case With Paula Zahn season 7 episode 6, Snapshot to Murder, is a gripping and emotional journey through a tragic case of murder and the search for justice for a young victim.
