AN: THANK YOU! To all of my reviewers! You guys are awesome!

So I finally decided that this story is an AU and is rated T for descriptions and content.

Fenton Hardy waited in his office for his long time partner Sam. While waiting, Fenton was looking over the card that was found by the girl's body. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard a knock at the door.

"Come on in Sam." Fenton said.

"Now how did you know it was me and not one of your boys?" Came the voice of Sam as he walked in.

"Because both my boys are at Lake Tahoe for their winter break. That and you still do the triple knock on the door." Fenton explained. He looked up at his friend and smiled somewhat, then he turned grim. "We have a problem."

"I heard. I had to drive by the Madison's farm to get here, so I went to look at the scene. I can't believe this. Actually, I don't want to believe this."

"It has to be a copy cat."

"I highly doubt it. I know you've seen the body. Its looks exactly the same as the others."

"That was almost 20 years ago. No way you could actually remember every single detail. And besides, we won't know until the autopsy report comes back." Fenton said, trying to reassure his friend as well as himself.

Sam sighed and sat down on one of the chairs in front of Fenton's desk. He looked hopelessly at his friend. "Fenton, even you know what you just said isn't true. Even you remember the all the victims and know all the details. If it is him then we have a problem."

"I know."Fenton sighed, standing up walking over to the window. After standing in front of the window for a little bit, he turned around and looked at his friend with grim features. "We were wrong Sam. Not just you and me, but the others too. There is an innocent man in jail right now and we need to get him out."

"Have you called the others? I mean, they do have a right to know."

"I guess we should. I was hoping I was over reacting but if the both of us agree, then we need to get this man out of prison and search Bayport."

"Who do you want to call? George or Carson?" Sam asked. "Either way, these calls won't be pleasant."

"I'll call George and have him to come over so we can tell him in person."

"And that leaves Carson for me." Sam said as he pulled out his cell phone to make the call.

As both men were about to call the other two, there was another knock on the door. Fenton went over to answer the door. When he opened the door he saw George Shaw, Con Riley, and Chief Collig.

"The E.M. report came back. We have the wrong man in prison." Chief Collig stated, confirming the thoughts of the men in the room.

"What do we do now? Every girl in Bayport is in potential danger now." George said.

"Ok… Well I guess the only thing left now is to call Carson and have him come…"

"Carson is on his way now. He is bringing is daughter, Nancy, and her boyfriend." George interrupted Sam. "I called him after I got a report from Con." He quickly added as Sam and Fenton gave him strange looks.

"Well what does the M.E. report say?" Fenton asked Chief Collig.

"The usual, several beating within a short period of time followed by sexual assault, which the guy still hasn't learned to wear protection and an injection of cyanide on the right thigh. It looks like she has been there for around two months. The thing is no one knew of the last detail of the murders. Not even Mr. Jones, who is still sitting in prison. I honestly can't believe we didn't catch this until 20 years later."

"We all wanted to put that guy away. When we thought we had him, we wanted him in jail and the jury agreed with us. DNA was still new and unsure back then. We just hoped that we were right, but unfortunately for us and Jones, we were wrong and now we have to start from the beginning." George plainly said. He looked around the room at the other men before asking, "Should we call and warn Frank and the others?"

"Why worry them now? It's not like they are in danger." Con Riley said.

"No, George is right. The body has been here before they went on break. We should just give them a heads up to let them know what is going on at home. George if you want to call Callie you can go ahead. I will give Frank and Joe a call as soon as I get home tonight." Fenton said, seeing some relief in George's eyes. "I guess we should go ahead and go home. There really isn't anything we can do tonight. Lets meet up tomorrow when Carson gets here and we will go over the case from the beginning, again."

All the men agreed and started to leave. As soon as George was out the door, Fenton heard him talking on the phone. Sighing, Fenton locked the office door and went to his car. He called Laura to tell her he would be home soon.

While Fenton and the others were talking, a lone man was outside of the office window listening to the entire conversation. "Lake Tahoe, huh? Well this shall be interesting." The man said, with a southern accent and went to his white Chevy truck. He pulled out his cell phone and called someone.

"Hey, yeah I know where she is… Nah. They think we are still gonna be in town in the morning… Do you want to get the supplies or do you want me to get it? ... Alright, I will meet you at the store in 30. Bye." After he got off the phone and pulled out a picture. "Soon you will be ours and don't worry sweetheart, Dad and I will take good care of you." He said with a laugh. He continued to stare at the picture, occasionally stroking the face of the girl in the picture.

AN: Well now… Who will it be?
