Monsters Recede but Never Vanish (S01E05)

In the wake of Michelle's unexpected passing, her quest to identify the Golden State Killer continues. Motivated by Michelle’s fascination with genealogy and DNA testing, Paul Holes, the Chief of Forensics in Contra Costa County, collaborates with genetic genealogist Barbara-Rae Venter to map out the killer's family lineage. After receiving Michelle’s extensive collection of 37 case files, researcher Paul Haynes and true crime author Billy Jensen team up with her husband, Patton Oswalt, to complete her unfinished book, which quickly becomes a bestseller. Meanwhile, the release of Michelle’s autopsy report sends shockwaves through her close-knit circle.
