I remember the woman on our couch more clearly than I remember what I said to the police. She was wearing one of my husband’s sweatshirts, her shoes were beside the fireplace, and when I told her to get out of my house, she looked at him instead of me. Daniel kept saying it was complicated. Then an officer noticed something none of us had been arguing about: the dried blood beneath the woman’s left thumbnail. By midnight, nobody was arguing about who had permission to be in the house anymore.

Part 1 Officer Marcus Hale expected the call to take ten minutes. The dispatcher had described it as a domestic dispute involving an unwanted guest…

I remember the first thing she asked me because it wasn’t whether the people in the other car were alive. She wanted to know if we had found her purse. Her SUV was sitting sideways across County Road 18, steam lifting from the hood, and thirty yards behind it a sedan had been folded against a sycamore tree. She told me the sedan had come out of nowhere. Then a deputy found a dashboard camera in the grass, and suddenly the six minutes before the crash became more important than anything she said afterward.

  Part 1 Deputy Lucas Reed reached County Road 18 at 11:47 on a Saturday night in October. The first call had described two vehicles,…

The first time I understood that my son might have killed someone, he was sitting six feet away from me asking whether the police could prove where a person had been if their phone was turned off. He asked it casually, almost academically, while detectives searched our house for a missing sixteen-year-old girl. Twenty minutes later, an officer carried a mud-caked sweatshirt from our garage in a paper evidence bag. I recognized it before my son did. And suddenly I remembered where I had seen the same mud the night before.

The first thing Detective Lena Ortiz noticed was not the locked classroom or the seventeen-year-old boy sitting in the assistant principal’s office with both hands wrapped around a paper cup of water. It was what the teacher said before anyone had accused her of anything. “Whatever he told you,” Marissa Vale said, “I never forced him.” Ortiz had asked only whether she knew why deputies were at the school. By the time Marissa realized the difference, the detective had already written the sentence down.

When I first stepped into Daniel Mercer’s house, I thought the overturned chair was the thing I was supposed to notice. Then I saw the untouched glass of whiskey beside it, the muddy mark halfway up the staircase, and the patio door standing open to thirty-degree air. Daniel’s sister kept insisting he had been terrified of a former employee. By the end of that night, we knew someone had been inside the house with him. What we did not know was that the person who killed Daniel had already called us by mistake.

Part 1 The welfare check came in at 4:46 on a Thursday afternoon. A woman named Lauren Mercer told the Cedar Falls Police Department that…
