Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode appears to be based on the 1986 Robert Chambers (a.k.a. "The Preppie Killer") case. Chambers strangled 18-year-old Jennifer Levin to death in New York's Central Park in 1986. Chambers, who was painted as privileged by the press, had come from a much different background: he was handsome, attended prep schools but on scholarships, and had a long history of anti-social behavior and run-ins with the law. (In this episode, the handsome Ned Loomis comes from a prominent family, went to prep schools and Ivy League universities, and has no criminal history.) When questioned by police, Chambers told several different stories about his encounter with Levin. Including one story that he accidentally killed her after she "forced" and "overpowered" him into rough sex--all of which were proven false by the investigators. Also In this episode, Detective Logan overhears Ned Loomis yelling at his lawyer, "Why couldn't she just leave me alone?" Chambers had said the same thing to his father after his own arrest. Chambers eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter and served 15 years before being released in February 2003. Five years later, on August 11, 2008, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced that Chambers had pleaded guilty to selling drugs and was sentenced to 19 years in prison. His earliest date of possible release is 2025.
- GoofsElyse Brody pulls down her turtleneck to show the scar and her neck and says, "This is what Ned Loomis did to me". Then the camera cuts to a closeup of the scar, and the scar is a different size and shape from what it was in the first shot.

Featured review
All he has is hearsay
George Dzundza and Chris Noth get a call on a young girl clinging to life after being strangled and her larynx crushed. Later she passes away.
The girl was a spirited lass who had an active sex life. The night of her death she had sex with two people, one of them her killer.
The police settle on Thomas Calabro who is most unmistakably modeled on Robert Chambers dubbed 'The Preppy Killer' by the tabloid press of the time. One of those strikingly handsome individuals who women and gay men just line up for.
Calabro is from an old money name with a lot of that cash having been spent by a previous generation. He'll enjoy himself along the way for certain, but is looking to marry wealthy and he's dumped the deceased for the wealthy Marita Geraghty.
Calabro is also not someone used to hearing the word "no". Kind of a young Donald Trump.
The problem is that of reputation. There are laws against hearsay testimony so that defendants are only convicted of the facts involving what crime they are accused of. But victims have no such protection. It is really a heartbreaking to see Michael Moriarty try and tell the deceased's parents that tabloid stories about their daughter are not based on information from his office or the police.
At one point all he has is hearsay.
You watch the episode to see how Moriarty makes use of it.
