The Prosecutors: In Pursuit Of Justice
Deadly Fixation
S2 • E10 Jan 22, 2002
On Memorial Day Weekend 1996, a woman’s body is discovered in a storm drain in Marietta, Ohio. Police eventually identify the woman as college student Sheree Petry and begin to focus the investigation on one suspect, Dennis Rydbom, who had been spurned by the victim. But with little evidence, no arrest can be made. When a second search of Rydbom’s residence turns up Sheree’s personal belongings, he is arrested and charged with her murder. With a completely circumstantial case, prosecutors Ginny Conley and Scott Durig have to prove Dennis Rydbom believed that if he could not have Sheree Petry, then no one else would either.
