On a rainy October afternoon in the small town of Potsdam, New
York, a young woman called 911 to tell them that she heard some odd
noises coming from the apartment across from hers. The noises
sounded like a child in danger. When an officer finally arrived, he
heard footsteps inside and the sound of the door's lock clicking
when he knocked. When he finally gained access, the officer found
12-year-old Garrett Phillips pulseless. He began CPR and Garrett
was transported quickly to the hospital, but he ultimately died.
The only evidence left behind was a bent window screen and a few
fingerprints. Investigators immediately focused their attention on
the victim's mother's ex-boyfriend, Nick Hillary, and he became an
outcast, despite no physical evidence of his involvement. Were
police targeting him because of his race and pushing another prime
suspect aside because he was, GET THIS, another police officer? Or
was the investigator's tunnel vision being exagerrated and Nick
Hillary really was responsible for the savage murder of a little
boy?
