he was trying to revive the victim.

What about the blood on you?

You try to help somebody

who's bleeding to death...

-ls he checking out?

-...you get blood on you.

James McKeen Costa.

Born Nova Scotia, 1 965.

Everything looks pretty standard.

We've got blood samples

and a DNA swab on the way to the lab.

l turn, and l see...

...a man standing over somebody else...

...with...

...a rock...

...in his hand.

And then...

...he started beating

this guy's face in....

-So l shouted--

-What did you shout?

''Stop,'' you know. Something dumb

like that. l don't know. l--

And then l ran towards them.

And he looked up at me,

and he pointed a gun at me.

And l....

l don't know. l thought--

l don't know what l thought.

Then he ran away.

He's gone, and then l call the cops.

And l tried to perform CPR on the

other guy until the paramedics came.

Did you remove the garrotte?

The--? Oh, the thing around his neck?

Yeah, l kind of had to.

-Did you see where the attacker went?

-Yeah, he went far from me. Right?

What kind of gun did he have?

He had the kind that puts

really big holes in people.

l saw this guy.

All right? And l can draw a little bit,

all right? So...

...maybe if you would give me a piece

of paper, l can sketch him for you.

l don't know about this guy.

l can't read him.

Something about his answers.

You mind if l give it a try?

No, please go ahead.

Hi.

You another cop?

ln a way, yes.

l'm Special Agent llleana Scott.

-Special agent?

-l'm FBl. l'm helping on the case.

-Can l ask a few questions?

-You asking the same ones...

-...the other guy did?

-Yes, probably.

-Do you mind if l have a cigarette?

-No, of course not.

You nervous?

Yes, l am.

Extremely.

Thanks for the pad of paper.

So, what did he look like?

He had extremely bright eyes.

Burning, you know?

Even in the dark.

His hair...

...could have been blond.

He had a beard.

He had, not five-o'clock shadow...

...but something cultivated.

Did he seem agitated or in control?

Oh, Jesus.

ls that what l think it is?

ls that--? That's the--

That was around his neck, right?

Am l right?

-Am l right?

-Yes, yes.

You did that on purpose?

All right, l'm doing my best here, all right?

That man's face was half gone!

l couldn't even--

lt didn't even look human.

l did everything l could

to try to help him, and he--

He died, okay? He died. There was....

Look, there was too much blood there.

l'd never seen so much blood in my life.

And l kept trying,

even though l knew that it was too late.

l saw the man who did this. Okay?

l saw him, and l can show you

what he looks like.

And then...

...you can go catch him.

Okay.
