Plot

Automobile mechanic Eric Greenwood is found murdered outside of a bar leading Detectives Cyrus Lupo and Kevin Bernard to question the victim's boss, Bob Munsen. Lupo and Bernard discover Munsen was involved in an online relationship that Greenwood could sabotage. Munsen had stolen and sold rare maps worth over $60,000 dollars, and sent the money to his young, online lover, "Chrissy Cheponis". The case takes some strange twists and turns, as "Chrissy" turns out to be an older woman, Donna Cheponis, who is impersonating her missing daughter online to scam unsuspecting men. Greenwood exposed the online relationship between Munsen and Cheponis and ended up dead, but "Chrissy" remains missing.
