On this week's case, Avery and Dylan discuss the heartbreaking story of Andrea Farrington. Andrea was 20 years old and worked at a children's museum at the Coral Ridge Mall in Coral, Iowa. During her time at the mall, she met a security guard named Alex Kozak. In the beginning, the two texted back and forth until things took a dark turn when Alex began stalking Andrea. Despite her efforts, Alex would not leave Andrea alone. On June 12th, 2015 Alex's obsession would drive him to make a fatal decision.
