Sheridan

In 1977, an Atlanta community is disrupted by tragic lovers’ lane killings, and Computer Science Professor Phil Gregory’s daughter was one of the victims. More than 20 years later, the killer is back. Phil abruptly retires to catch his daughter’s killer. Using the Internet, he tracks the murderer through the underground world of sadomasochism and bondage. Phil baits the killer into a showdown, which is inadvertently broadcast via the Internet.

Based on five years of investigative reporting and research into forensic psychology and criminology, Erased presents an original profile of a widespread and previously unrecognized type of murder: not a hot-blooded, spur-of-the-moment crime of passion, as domestic homicide is commonly viewed, but a cold-blooded, carefully planned and methodically executed form of erasure.
