The waiting game begins as former East Layton police officer Tom Jackson faces new criminal charges over allegations of child sex abuse against his daughters during the 1980s. A rift emerges among Jackson’s family, with some blood relatives refusing to believe he could be capable of such terrible acts.
 
Jackson’s comments to COLD also draw attention to Nancy Perry Baird’s ex-boyfriend, John Sparks, and his brother, Davis County Sheriff Kelly Sparks. COLD host Dave Cawley confronts Sheriff Sparks about the appearance of a possible conflict of interest.
 
And a one-time friend of Nancy Baird’s emerges as a possible witness to her presumed abduction. Could Guy Gailey have seen Nancy in her final moments?
