In January of 2017, the body of a 24-year-old man was found naked at the bottom of a cliff in a state park in Maryland. Although his girlfriend claims he died from the injuries he sustained in the fall, an autopsy revealed his throat had been slit multiple times. As baffling details emerged, she became investigator’s number one suspect. This is the story of Alexander Stevens.
