over an hour drive to a boat.

All the time they're

neither seen or missed.

He's nocturnal, methodical.

Probably works nights.

His job gives him time.

Like..

like a shift worker.

Christ, that's half the people here.

But why leave a shell?

It doesn't fit.

I don't think he's careless,

more overconfident.

He didn't count on the body being found.

Like the others.

What others?

Lieutenant, this was

too well-planned.

It's not a first time.

It's not a one-off.

He's done it before, he'll do it again.

Lieutenant, I have a call..

- I'm not here. Give me 10 minutes.

- Just got this from A.P.D.

one of the missing girls' sisters

called, wants to talk to someone.

This also for whoever's heading

up the missing dancer's case.

Said it's urgent.

No, I'm the wrong guy to

get in the middle of this.

- This is my last two weeks.

- Well, bad luck.

Your precious oil money and 800

miles of pipe ain't going anywhere.

Pull whatever team you need.

How many open cases has he got?

With hunters, hikers, boaters

and idiots just wandering off,

About 600 from the last two years.

All right. Let's get started. Grab a box.

- Jodi, I'm going to that photo session.

- F***! Can you wait?

- Cab's already here. Can I borrow this?

- Only if you drop off my mail.

- Deb, have you seen my necklace?

- Uh.. No, I haven't.

- What time will you be back?

- Not till later. I'll meet you at the bar.

Hi, I'm Debbie.

Sorry I'm late. I brought

my dog if that's okay.

- Oh hey, Bobby.

- Hey, Al, good morning.

Hey, John says the coyotes are running.

I was thinkin' about taking the boys,

- Flying up, getting a few?

- Maybe next week.

I sure would like to. We're still on

for dinner with Joan, yeah, Tuesday?

If that's what the girls arranged.

- You know, whatever they say.

- Yeah.

- Oh hey, Bob.

- Hi.

Morning.

Good mornin', Bob.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Oh no!

- I know.

I can never seem to get

the hang of this, Bob.

More pressure.

Like that.

Oh nice.

- Did that closing order come in?

- It did.

They called and changed it to

today, but I can handle it.

Okay.

Do that, please.

Yeah.

Hey, I got that.

- I'll sort that out for you, Bob.

- Okay, thank you.

- You wanna take one of these home?

- I sure do.

Okay. Are we still having Halloween here?

- You betcha we are.

- My kids are all excited.

- Are they? That's good.

- Yep.

- All right, keep at it now.

- All right. See ya.

I'm going over suspects from

court and rape-center cases.

I'll check the rest in the morning.

Are you stayin'?

You have anything

on a Robert C. Hansen?

Grabbed some girl back in '71.

Drove her at gunpoint, hands bound and

naked, to Kenai lake and then raped her.
