While they are talking, Thomas turns up with a piece of evidence they think could help move the case forward. The discovery leads them to a former suspect who they had previously let go, and further investigation reveals that he has a history of stalking women.
As they dig deeper, Catherine and Thomas find a connection between the abductor and the victim. The two become fixated on the idea of solving the case and bringing justice to the victim's family. They begin to suspect that the abductor may have taken souvenirs from his victims and started combing through his house to find any evidence that may help.
