Seeing trouble: Renier's 'mind for murder'

Norman Lewis disappeared from Williston, Florida in April 1994, leaving no trace for worried family and friends, who contacted the authorities the moment they realized that his medication had been left at home.

"It's like he fell off the edge of the earth," said the local police chief.

Two years into the investigation, every rational lead the Williston police had in hand had been exhausted. In a frantic last-ditch effort, lead detective Brian Hewitt called in a team of Navy Seals to help search an abandoned rock quarry. After two days of searching and coming up empty-handed, the divers were ready to call it quits, but Hewitt begged for one more day, determined to pursue his last lead to completion. The next day, they found Lewis 20 feet underwater, still behind the wheel in the cab of his red pickup truck.
