A Life in the Limelight

Finding Unexpected Connections
As they spoke, the woman revealed that she had gone through a breakup the night before and sought solace at a friend’s house when the incident occurred. Surprisingly, she found solace in sharing her breakup story with the detectives, unbeknownst to her that it would indirectly connect her to Cosgrove’s stalker case.
