Police heard about one law school classmate who had gotten himself a nickname.

But she was with Chris, so she definitely said no.

Asking girls out was one thing.

What Katie told police next sounded much more suspicious.

The Friday morning that Tara died, he had come in and he had had an injury on his head.

An injury the morning of the murder?

That would get police looking in Suit Boy's direction.

But he wasn't the only one they needed to talk to.

Tara's mother had an idea, one disturbingly close to home.

It at one point occurred to me, what if it could have been her biological father?

Three weeks after Tara Baker was killed, her family joined faculty and students for a memorial at her beloved law school.

Tara's stepfather, Lindsey Baker, told them Tara had been living her dream.

In the end, she never even got to finish her second semester.

To see him standing there and talking about his little girl and trying to choke back tears was just, it was tough.

Everything was tough for the Bakers in those early weeks, especially the not knowing.

As she grieved, Virginia asked herself repeatedly, who could have done this?

She started to wonder about someone who was no stranger to the family, her first husband, Tara's father.

He threatened me when I divorced him a lot.

And his threats to me were hitting me in the head to the point that you couldn't recognize my face.

Tara's family had been told few details about what had happened to her, nothing about the rape or stabbing, but they did know she'd suffered blunt force trauma to the head.
