On the 23rd of April 1996, 19 year old Stacey Stites fails to show up for work at the H.E.B grocery store in Bastrop, Texas. Her coworker opens up the shop without her, expecting her to show up any minute. About 2 hours after she should have been at work, at 5:23 am, her fiance's(Jimmy Fennell's) truck, which Stacey usually takes to work, is discovered in the Bastrop High school parking lot by a police officer. Since Stacey isn't yet reported missing, the officer continues his patrol, after calling it in. Around 7:00 am, Staceys co-worker,calls Stacey's mom, Carol Stites, who immediately calls Stacey's fiance, Giddings Police Officer Jimmy Fennell.. At about 3:00 pm on that same day, her partially clothed body is discovered in a wooded area. She’s been strangled with her own belt and tests confirm DNA from an unknown male in and on her body. Stacey's fiance, Officer Jimmy Fennell becomes the prime suspect, as he was the last to see her alive. The DNA didnt match Jimmy, despite him failing two lie detector tests, he's ruled out as a suspect. Rodney Reed becomes the main suspect. Reed denies knowing Stacey, until police hits him the with DNA evidence. Renown forensic pathologists including Michael Baden, M.D., Werner Spitz, M.D., LeRoy Riddick, M.D., and Cyril Wecht, M.D. have all concluded that Reed’s guilt is medically and scientifically impossible.
