Truelove claims there are no more bodies. He also claims not to have killed Amber Lynn LaPierre. Forensic tests on the twenty-four corpses confirm that neither Amber nor Mulder's sister is among the victims. With the help of a police psychic, Mulder searches for the missing girl and for his sister.

My Rating: 8/10
Some touching scenes and good special effects but it's kind of disappointing that Mulder's quest to find Samantha is over and that she's not alive.
