About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "Under the Radar, Part 1" from Small Town Dicks covers the opening chapter of a two-part case that begins when a teenager makes disturbing allegations about a trusted neighbor. Detective Bre begins an investigation that quickly reveals the situation may be far bigger than it first appeared.
As the evidence is followed, a pattern of grooming, secrecy and manipulation begins to emerge. The investigation then uncovers a possible connection to a years-old death that had once been ruled justified, forcing detectives to take a closer look at what really happened. The episode traces how a single allegation widens into a much larger inquiry, and how old conclusions can be reopened when new information surfaces.
