The true-crime series “Good Cop, Bad Cop' is hosted by Garry McFadden, a 37-year veteran of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department in North Carolina.
On the night of Dec. 27, 1986, Cara Knott drove her Volkswagen from her boyfriend’s house. The 20-year-old was on her way home. She never made it. Police soon found the San Diego student. The aspiring teacher's body had been dumped from a bridge. She landed about 75 feet below on a dry creek bed. There was a ligature mark around Knott’s neck and a bruise on her face. It appeared someone had hit her with a flashlight.
Over the years, the patriarch worked tirelessly to establish a memorial garden in his daughter’s honor. It was established in the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, where Knott's body was found. In 2000, after spending time in his beloved garden, the 63-year-old suffered a fatal heart attack. He died only a few yards from the spot where his daughter was found. Knott’s case is being reexamined in a new true-crime series on Investigation Discovery , 'Good Cop, Bad Cop.
It destroyed my dad,' Knott’s sister, Cynthia Knott, told the series. 'The monster murdered him, just like he murdered my sister.' While the murder occurred in a largely undeveloped area, it was widely publicized in San Diego. In the ‘80s, San Diego was considered a vacation town where local crime didn’t make national news, the episode shared. At the time, investigators had to rule out the possibility Knott was a victim of the Green River Killer, who was active in Seattle.
Knott’s boyfriend was initially looked at as a suspect. However, he had a clear alibi that was verified by police, and he was at home when his high school sweetheart was killed. Blood and fiber evidence found at the scene of the crime were all linked to Peyer. A witness also saw Knott getting pulled over by Peyer. According to court documents, Peyer ordered Knott to exit the freeway at the Mercy Road exit and drive to the bottom of an offramp, which was dark and isolated.
