Penance for Acceptance Dennis Clothier

A killer is on the loose who knows far too much about unsolved old murders, but this person is also giving grieving families the long overdue closure they need. Homicide Detective Philip Rose has a dark past that he is trying to forget. When he receives a call to a residential location, the family there has received a video tape telling the whereabouts of their daughter, who has been missing for six months. The tape reveals a man tied to a chair who tells the story of the abduction, the murder of the little girl, and the location of the body. At the conclusion of the tape, another man walks from the shadows bearing a sword. With one thrust, the confessed murderer is decapitated. The figure from the shadows looks into the camera lens and says, "Your prayers have been answered." Although the story seems like a hoax, Philip is obligated to investigate. To the detective's horror, the girl's body is found in the exact location that was on the tape. An investigation shows that the fingerprints on the tape belong to Samuel Miller. Philip soon finds that Samuel Miller died six months prior to the tape being made. More videos start coming to other families with missing persons, and every piece of evidence links Samuel Miller to the crimes. Detective Rose gets a warrant to open Samuel Miller's casket, only to find that the body is missing.
