Season 4 - Episode 39

DESCRIPTION:

Sometimes a killer can just blend in. Be one of many faces in a crowd, unnoticed by everyone, including the officers desperately searching for them. The person known to many as an unassuming "softly spoken gentleman", carries on with his life. Will he ever have to pay the price for what he has done?
