EIGHT WOMEN were convinced that their initial identification of their attacker, who some even identified by name, was wrong. It had to be Joe Garcia. After all, they were told the DNA "matched" and that he had been a "career criminal" with a prior conviction for Rape. So a serial rapist was off the street. Justice was served. There was just one problem. Joe Garcia never raped anyone. This is the incredible true story of a 32-year old "cold case" and a woman's 12-year effort to exonerate and free a stranger who she is certain was wrongfully convicted. To do so, she not only had to prove "it wasn't Joe," but also put herself at risk by hunting for the real Central Coast Rapist.
