   Summary

   In 2001, Poughkeepsie, NY. A horrific discovery shocked locals, uncovering one of the country's darkest secrets to date: the Poughkeepsie Killer. A 27-year-old woman, later identified as Cheryl Dempsey, was one of this killer's victims, and even more interestingly, she was the only survivor of his depravity.
   For a moment, at least. Before she was found in her childhood bedroom with marks from hanging by a rope. The conclusion was quick: if he hadn't killed her, she would have died by her own hands anyway.
