The source provides an overview of the double-murder case involving Jose Angel Rodriguez-Cruz, who killed two women, Marta Haydee Rodriguez and Pamela Butler, twenty-three years apart. The episode details the 2010 disappearance of Pamela Butler in Washington, D.C., highlighting suspicious evidence such as a missing security camera hard drive and the evasive behavior of her live-in boyfriend, Rodriguez-Cruz, who was ultimately linked to the crime by grainy footage of him dragging a heavy contractor bag. This modern investigation ultimately uncovered the decades-old cold case of Marta Rodriguez, who vanished in 1987 in Virginia and was the killer's first wife. The piece explains how Rodriguez-Cruz confessed to both murders, revealing he had buried both women near Interstate 95, leading to their remains being recovered and his subsequent conviction to two life sentences.
