AN UNLIKELY SUSPECT

A protective father becomes a top suspect in a murder investigation when his ex-wife is killed just after returning to town in Murder in a Small Town’s Oct. 7 episode.

Titled “Mother Love” the hour finds our suspect still heartbroken years after the split, and wears his anger and pain on his sleeve. However with his only goal in life appearing to want to keep his daughter safe, Alberg is given pause for thought.

Meanwhile, when Holly and her friend show Cassandra photos they’ve been taking around town Cassandra instantly recognizes the photo of a shrine to her old schoolmate Lauren Park who died many years ago under mysterious circumstances.

Cassandra also has her hands full this week as she assists a local unhoused man who is being tormented by some local kids.
