23 Years

Carter’s curiosity had piqued, especially after he had been given a list of names close to the Weidner family. Amy’s mom always assumed that a stranger had broken into the house, but Carter discovered that the prints actually belonged to a man named Rodney Denk who had been 18 at that time and had been a good friend to Amy’s brother. He had roamed free for 23 years and the cop decided to put an end to that freedom. Denk, knowing that his time was up, tried to kill himself by slashing his wrists. He failed and was sentenced to 65 years. Amy’s mother told the media that she never expected to find that the monster had been someone they’ve known all along.
