A Southern California millionaire allegedly murders his wife, then calls the authorities with a far-fetched claim that a house-painter did it. Also, the brutal rape and murder of a flight attendant goes unsolved for 8 years, until the perpetrator's terrified family flees to Mexico to unmask him for authorities.

A former police officer who had stalked, assaulted, or attempted to seduce more than five young women over the course of his career is arrested while attempting to hook up for sex with minor girls using internet chat rooms; he serves his time. Then while out on parole, he flees.
