In Hartford, Wisconsin in 2013 a young woman was murdered in her home. Jessie Blodgett was a 19 year old woman who had her whole life ahead of her and plans for that life. She was going to be a music teacher, she had landed the role of The Fiddler in Fiddler on the Roof for a local play group, and had just played opening weekend to a packed house. Investigators had little to go on at first, and then quickly things started falling into place. The killer was caught and charged in just 16 days.
