A suspicious suitcase is found on a school bus and inside is the dead body of a nine-year-old pageant princess. There's a report of a missing girl on Long Island named Cherie Lathan. It is discovered she is the victim. Her father was pushing her toward the pageant world and she had the "look" of a young beauty queen. She was last seen at her friend's house and then walked alone to the school bus where she disappeared. Initially, a 15-year-old boy who was stalking her is suspected to be the killer but his DNA clears, as does the DNA from Cherie's father. Based on blood from the ejaculate found on the body, they suspect they are looking for is a sex offender who was chemically castrated.
