Episode 20 - Eric and Christian

Today we have the story of two teen-aged friends in Eric Anderson and Christian Maldonado whose lives were taken by someone for no apparent reason. The case would take a few years to be solved, even creating an urban legend in the process but would ultimately find its resolve giving hope to the closure for other cases.
