NARRATOR:
Now nearly two years later, detectives take a closer look
at his arrest. When they hear the details, Lisa's family is heartbroken
to realize what a missed opportunity
it was. They found him
coming down the hill in Coldwater Canyon with a lantern and a shovel. And they arrested him. I don't know what they thought
when they saw him coming down the hill,
but for some reason, they did not go back up
to the place where the ladies
had been raped. NARRATOR:
Had the officers searched Edmund Matthews' campsite after arresting him in 1985, they would've found
Lisa's freshly-buried body and prevented almost two years
of anguished uncertainty. DET. BALL:
These were uniformed officers that were looking for
a specific suspect
