Title: Hand Delivered Plot: In 1995, a shocking discovery in San Diego, CA, leaves authorities perplexed when a pair of severed hands is discovered in a dumpster. After analysis, it’s revealed that the hands belong to missing individual Don Hardin. The investigation zeroes in on Dale Whitmer, a local homeless man who had shared living space with Hardin prior to his disappearance. However, the lack of forensic evidence leads to a dead end.
