 When the search team got to Chicago at 9:00 pm, they searched the Chicago river and found Emily's body beneath. The forensics lab found that Emily Emerson was dead for two weeks and everything Jenny told Nina was the absolute truth of Emily being brutally tortured to death. Carson, the guards and his TV crew who was involved in  Emily's murder is being charged with First Degree Murder. They all will be sentenced to life in prison. Nina's boyfriend, Noah, was only involved in the hostage taking of Emily. The judge informed Noah that the laws of hostage taking are a crime in every state in the Union. Still, when the taking of hostages crosses international lines or is intended to coerce a government to take action, it's a federal crime under U.S. law. Federal hostage-taking is a serious offense punishable up to life in prison and if the hostage dies, it can even result in the death penalty if the defendant is convicted. Since Emily was found dead the judge ruled that Noah Knoles will be sentenced 25 years to life without bail as well as the others who were involved. Nina was devastated when she heard the terrible news that her lover was going to prison for life. She thought about visiting him every month in prison but her parents were against that deeply. It would be a waste of her life visiting Noah in prison. Her parents convinced her to move on with her life and sooner or later she would find another love of her life. Nina felt that the love would not be the same as she felt for Noah but someday she will forget about him and move on. It was a shame for Nina to know that half of the teenagers  who went to her school will not see the light of day anymore or ever go to college to pursue their dreams. They all will eventually die in prison. Sturgis did convince her parents to join the Police Department and it worked. Nina would still have to go to college part time and work for the detectives part time as well. The Cecelia Horthway mansion had gotten torn down due to deaths that were happening in that house. Nina's best friend Stacy was appalled and terribly shocked by what Nina informed her. Stacy has always been her best friend and still is. Jenny will be Nina's guardian angel forever and Nina thought she would definitely need Jenny's help on some cold cases she will work on with the detectives later on in the future.
