Between The Madness - Episode 13 - Caught Red Handed - The Murder of Ariel Cade

On a spring afternoon in Lubbock, Texas, a federal agent watched an apartment door from an unmarked vehicle. He was there to find a robbery suspect. Instead, he witnessed something no one expected. What followed was a desperate manhunt, a young mother's death, and a chain of events that no one could stop once it began.
