Washington City, July 21 st, 1861.

This is Manassas.

First battle of Bull Run.

I'll show you something.

Right here.

Where Stonewall Jackson | got his nickname.

That's Sudley Springs there.

Civilians used to take picnics | to that crest to watch the battle.

Amazing, huh?

How did you...?

I'm a homicide cop | in the homicide capital of the world.

It's cheaper than a shrink.

You did this all by yourself?

The whole thing.

My father was a history buff | so he kind of rubbed off on me.

What did he do?

He worked at the Smithsonian | for about 34 years...

...as a guard.

How am I going to move all this?

First I must take it apart, | then put it back together again.

Oh, no. Hell, no!

I can't move.

I'll be right back.

Stand back.

Detective Regis, | Stengel's been looking for you.

Who isn't?

Remember that claim check? | I sent Greeley to the drug store.

Let's see what we got.

And there she is...

...live and in color.

Where'd you get these?

We'll be late for the autopsy.

Her VISA card activity, last 24 hours.

Banning Travel, 1500 bucks.

I got it by a nose hair.

Phone records, credit card, bank | account, all impounded, now classified.

She had a flight to New York...

...reservation at the Pierre...

...rental car, flight to the Virgin | Islands, St. Croix...

...one-way.

Lady was buying a new life.

She wasn't coming back, either.

The evidence indicates | a crime of passion.

There's evidence of vaginal penetration.

There's traces of lubricant in the | vaginal tract and under fingernails.

The blows were from the left, | and powerful.

A condom was used.

No semen...

...no blood, except hers.

No DNA.

Signs of force?

No.

So you're saying sex, not rape.

This doesn't leave the room.

It was here we saw the image | of an untroubled President...

...before the White House | murder cast a dark cloud...

...over this once highly | regarded administration.

Cory Alan Luchessi, janitor.

Nobody can account for him | during a 45-minute period...

...prior to when the Secret Service | found him in the East Room at 11:02.

The time of her death is set...

...between 10:
30...

...and 11:
00.

He eats a doughnut...

...then stabs her 8 times.

Lee Harvey Oswald was seen in the book | depository cafeteria drinking Coke...

...a minute after Kennedy was shot.

He's reading Soap Opera Digest.

2 months ago...

That's not enough.

If that's all you got, you got nothing.

Except this.

It was found in the bathroom.

It's the missing button...

...from a shirt in Luchessi's apartment.

Luchessi doesn't clean the bathrooms.

All right, where is he?

Being picked up.

What would it take for me | to see the surveillance tapes?
