Linda Opdycke and Mark Stover

Об эпизоде

When renowned dog trainer Mark Stover vanished from his Washington home in October 2009, investigators were confronted with a baffling mystery. His loyal protection dog had been shot three times in the head. Bloodstains inside the house appeared to have been cleaned with bleach. Mark's car was abandoned miles away.
