Ep 2. View To a Rampage

In See No Evil season 1 episode 2, titled View To a Rampage, the focus is on a violent and terrifying crime committed in Indianapolis, Indiana. The episode begins with Stephanie Wagner, a young college student who has just moved to Indianapolis for school. Stephanie is on her way to work one day when she stops at a gas station to fill up her car. As she is paying for her gas, a man walks in and robs the store at gunpoint. Stephanie is able to escape unharmed, but the incident leaves her shaken.

Meanwhile, the police are called to another scene in the same area of town. A man has been shot and killed in his car in broad daylight. The victim is later identified as 33-year-old John Yingling, a successful businessman and father of two young children. The police begin their investigation but quickly hit a dead end. There are no witnesses, no suspects, and no apparent motive for the murder.

Days turn into weeks, and the case goes cold until a breakthrough finally comes. Surveillance footage from a nearby business captures the entire crime on video, providing the police with their first real lead. The footage shows a man walking up to Yingling's car and shooting him through the window before fleeing the scene on foot. While the shooter's face is not visible, the police are able to track his movements through the area and use the footage to create a profile of the suspect.

As the investigation continues, the police receive another crucial piece of evidence. A witness comes forward and tells them that he saw a man running through an alley near the crime scene, and that he was carrying a gun. The witness is able to provide a detailed description of the suspect, including his height, weight, and clothing. With this information, the police begin to narrow down their search for the shooter.

The case finally breaks when a woman comes forward and reveals that her boyfriend, Landis Howard, may have been involved in the murder. Howard has a criminal record and is known to carry a gun, making him a viable suspect. The police obtain a search warrant and raid Howard's apartment, where they find a gun that matches the one used in the murder. Howard is arrested and ultimately confesses to the crime.

As the episode comes to a close, viewers are left to ponder the senselessness of the crime. John Yingling was an innocent man who left behind a grieving family, all because of a senseless act of violence committed by a man who may never be able to fully explain his motives. It's a tragic reminder that evil can strike anywhere, at any time, and it's up to all of us to do our part to prevent it from happening.
