Ali Kemp seemed to be leading a charmed life. The 19-year-old grew up in a loving home with her parents and two brothers in the idyllic setting of Leawood, Kan., a peaceful, tree-lined suburb just outside of Kansas City. By all accounts, she was a remarkable young woman, who dreamed of someday going to Russia to work with needy children. But she never got the chance. On an overcast day in June 2002, Ali lost her life in a moment of terrible, senseless violence like nothing even veteran police officers in the community had ever seen before. Ali was randomly confronted by a man in the pool's pump room. Moments later, he would brutally beat and strangle her but the question remains, who was he?
This series showcases that style, with the victim being all knowing but never revealing the killer. Instead, the viewer must piece together the who-dunnit based on clues provided by investigators and family/friends. Each case is real, using the tried and true crime story elements that we know make such compelling television. But the series gets its unique style and tone from the fictionalised (though based on truth) first-person narration in the voice of the victim from beyond the grave.
