Detectives finally arrest a suspect in the Hargan family murders. But at trial, defense attorneys present a new theory for how the killings might have happened. According to one scenario based on a forensic specialist's digitally reconstructed crime scene, Helen could have reached the rifle trigger with her toe. And that theory might cast enough doubt to throw the entire case into question.
