| DS Stone looks into the case of Stephen Eli, a lawyer and single father who fits none of the five most common categories of missing persons. Serial killer Leonard Vance, incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital, is a new suspect when Sean spots a connection with the killer's two victims. Vance later confesses, but fails to guide police to Eli's body and later dies from cardiac arrest. Sean starts to believe that somebody else is responsible for not only Eli's death, but also the other murders supposedly committed by Vance, and finds a pattern with all supposed three victims. | |||||
