Ben came out to be Jacob’s classmate. Someone had stabbed Ben to death in a park near their school. On questioning Jacob about Ben, he seemed frustrated over the exaggeration of the false sympathy from everyone. Leonard Patz, a convicted sexual predator, came among the list of possible suspects. However, the authority had forbidden him to bring Leonard in without any solid evidence. Later that night Andy goes through an online message where one of Jacob’s friends had censured him of the murder. Pouring oil to the flame, Andy discovered a knife in Jabo’s room. This turned out to be the murder’s weapon indeed.
Episode 2:

They also brought Leonard Patz for questioning but nothing implied any questions raised against him as a murderer. Meanwhile, Andy’s removal from the case took place. The confirmation of Jacob’s fingerprints with the ones found on Ben’s body shocked everyone.
