A special report on the Maura Murray case. In March, we learned that a fingerprint found in Maura Murray's car was linked to former West Point cadet Steffen Baldwin, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Ohio on unrelated charges. I recently obtained a copy of his autobiography and it provides important insight into his time at West Point and his struggles with mental illness.
