Script
A single red coat button was found wedged in the banister at the ransacked McStay residence in Liverpool, New York, in 1999. Police photographed every inch of the scene, but it was that plastic button, marked with a faint logo from a defunct local tailor, that stood out. When detectives reviewed pawn shop footage days later, Daniel McStay was caught trading a woman's fur coat, missing one conspicuous button. The match was confirmed, and McStay confessed to the burglary after seeing the evidence in person.
