Matthew’s mystery deepens after Skunk drops a bombshell

Netflix’s latest crime thriller, I Will Find You, based on Harlan Coben’s novel, premiered on June 18, 2026. It follows the story of David Burroughs, who was wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of his son, Matthew.

However, things take a wild turn when his ex- sister-in-law, Rachel, finds evidence that Matthew might be alive. David eventually escapes from the prison with the help of warden Phillip Mackenzie and detective Adam.

In Episode 3 of I Will Find You, the FBI arrests Rachel while Hayden finds David in his own apartment. Meanwhile, we also find out that Matthew is alive and is now called Theo. Episode 4 begins with a flashback. Eight years ago, we find Hayden has dumped Rachel, but they remain friends. Rachel helps him with a charity speech.

Coming back to the present, Hayden threatens to report David to the police. David reveals that Matthew is alive, and that stops Hayden from reporting him to the police.

Elsewhere, Greer and William start interrogating David’s neighbour, Hilde, who testified against David in Matthew’s murder case. She blatantly lies about David’s motives. Meanwhile, David tells Hayden that Hilde agreed to find Skunk in New York, and he promised to keep Rachel out of the mess. Here’s what happened in I Will Find You Episode 4.
