For the first time in years, there’s been a break in her mother’s case. Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more painful mystery. Hidden in the numbers is a code-and the closer the Naturals come to unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes. ![]() And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist. ![]() All of the victims were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any tape.
