For 25 years, a brutal crime haunted Belleville. A woman, attacked in the shadows of a bustling festival, endured a nightmare at the hands of a predator in a hotel change room. Beaten, assaulted, and robbed of her peace, she lived trapped in fear—her assailant a ghost, untouchable. Until now.
William Dale thought he’d escaped justice after the vicious 2000 assault. But a cigarette butt, a scrap of toilet paper, and a trail of DNA refused to let the truth die. When cutting-edge genetic genealogy cracked the case wide open, Belleville Police closed in, unmasking a monster hiding in plain sight. From a cold case to a courtroom, the relentless pursuit of Det. Const. Andrea Boulay and her father’s forensic legacy brought Dale to his knees.
As the victim’s heartrending words reveal a life scarred by trauma, Dale’s guilty plea can’t erase the pain—or the courage of a survivor ready to face her attacker. Sentenced to 12 years, his fate is sealed, but the echoes of that night linger.
Gripping and unforgettable, this is the story of a crime solved by science, a community’s resolve, and a woman’s unbreakable spirit. Justice delayed is not justice denied.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
