What You Will Learn

The confession to the abduction and murder of a young accountant in Austin by Kenneth McDuff’s accomplice gives U.S. Marshals the evidence they need to launch a nationwide dragnet for the serial killer.

After combing every corner of Central Texas for weeks, the Texas posse realizes that McDuff has fled the state.

In Kansas City, a garbage truck worker recognizes McDuff’s mug shot in a TV crime show featuring the U.S. Marshals’ search.
