Two car thieves, Murry and Pete, get more than they bargained for when they break into an abandoned truck and find a dead couple. Benson, Stabler and Warner investigate the scene and find that both victims' throats were cut and the female's breasts were hacked off. The female victim's bra and panties were hung on a clothesline in the van, which leads Benson to believe the perpetrator raped the victim.
