Touching Evil

Innocent (1) (3x1)

Air date: May 16, 1999

Creegan returns to duty against official orders as Anthony Matchin, a man he helped convict for killing his wife, is released from prison on appeal, returning to his home town of Ellandon. Shortly afterwards a woman's corpse is found, her heart cut out neatly and left in a nearby garbage bag. The OSC travels to the area as Creegan is convinced that Matchin is not the murderer, only to receive little help from the local force, unhappy at the OSC's intervention.
