Okay?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- You walked all the way home last night.

- I am gonna kill Johnny.

- Hi Billy.

- So he dumped you huh?

- Yeah.

- He didn't dump me, he met someone,

and they went for a ride.

- Who was it?

Dianne Martin, I'll bet you

anything it was Dianne Martin.

- It wasn't Dianne Martin.

- But it was a girl!

So what's the

big deal, it was a girl.

- I knew it.

- All right.

Look we gotta jump, Johnny

Franklin didn't make it

home last night, and Billy's

screaming about his truck

so I figured we'd take

a look at the back road

on the way into town.

- Missing person big deal.

Why can't anything exciting

ever happen around here.

Yeah like a mad gardener

stalking his victims with a rake?

- It's better than nothing.

- Hey hey you two hard of hearing here,

come on let's go, let's jump!

He didn't say where he was

going with his girl did he?

No he didn't Dad, although

I'm sure they went up to

the reservation.

- Hey you two!

You know you're not

supposed to go up there,

that's sacred Indian ground

and plus it's private property.

- Dad everbody goes up there.

I personally have never

been up there though.

- Isn't that his truck?

- Yeah that's it.

- Hmm.

No sign of foul play.

Doesn't look like an accident.

- Marci.

- Sir?

- Do you mind if I do the investigating.

Not at all, I'll just be

up the road if you need me.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Thank you very much.

- Yeah.

- What do you think happened to him, Dad?

I don't know, he probably

ran outta gas and walked home.

Got tired, waking up in

some field around here now.

Yeah some new girl she

said her name was Melissa.

Looks like multiple stab

wounds in the back, the arms

and the chest, somebody really

did a number on him Dan.

All right look Frank, I

don't want you to release

any information on this

till you hear from me.

I want you to go down to

the morgue and stay with

the coroner till he's

through with the body.

I want a report on my desk this afternoon.

- I'll do my best.

- Frank.

You better call Billy and

tell him about his brother.

You guys all right?

- We're okay Dad.

- What do think it was, a bear?

A bear, Marci are you

sure you're all right?

- I'm fine.

A dead body practically

falls on top of her

and she says she's all right, hah, cute.

This Melissa seems

to be best lead we got,

we'd better get to her.

The only getting you're

gonna do, is to school.

Cute.

Here hand me my books.

- Can't you say please?

- Please.

- Dad that's the girl!

- Are you sure?

- Yeah that's her.

Well I'd better have

a little chat with her.

You guys go on over there,

let me talk to the parents.

Excuse me, I'm Dan Burke,
