Badge of Deceit (2000)
For more than a decade, women in a small Louisiana city lived in fear of a serial rapist.

Police narrow their search to one man, but to prove he’s the perpetrator they turn to an unlikely piece of evidence--- a discarded cigarette butt.

A Woman Scorned (2000)

A Voice from Beyond (2000)
When a decomposed body is discovered inside a barrel, police immediately suspect foul play. But the body had been placed there 30 years earlier.
