"Deacon" -- While prosecuting a meth addict for the murder of a young woman, the D.A.'s office comes upon another suspect who has the same modus operandi as a dormant serial killer who victimized women for years, on a rebroadcast of CLOSE TO HOME, Friday, April 20 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Tom Smuts wrote the episode which was directed by Lewis H. Gould.  (Originally broadcast 10/13/06)

         While Annabeth investigates a suspect who is arrested for destroying evidence from a murder, she learns that the suspect told her ex-boyfriend that her father, a church deacon and law enforcement officer, actually committed the murder.  When Annabeth confronts the woman about her statement, she denies it, but Annabeth presses forward, convinced that she's on the trail of something big.
