Putting together clues, Emily discovers that every woman murdered had placed a personal ad in the paper, “The Daily Gazette". Emily reaches out to talk with the editor Mac Landon, because she just might need his help a lot more then she realizes. The impact of meeting him is just like getting hit with cupid's arrow.
