Go To

1995. Marty and Rust, after speaking with pastor Joel Theriot (Shea Whigham), learn that Lange was sometimes seen at church with a tall man with distinctive facial scarring. Their investigation continues in the face of pressure to turn the case over to Tuttle's new task force. Marty enters a jealous rage when he discovers his mistress Lisa with another man. While researching old investigations, Rust identifies symbols similar to the Lange case in the death of Rianne Olivier, which was classified as accidental. Marty and Rust visit Light of the Way Academy, a religious school run by Tuttle that Olivier attended, but find it abandoned save for a groundskeeper on a riding lawnmower, whom Rust questions. They discover that Olivier's boyfriend, Reggie Ledoux (Charles Halford) is an ex-con who was a cellmate of Dora Lange's ex-husband, Charlie, and has since skipped parole. The detectives put out an APB on Reggie Ledoux.
