The River Murders Page #2

---

The FBI will be in our office tomorrow.

The agent in charge is a prick.

They're from Quantico, Behavioral Analysis.

Twenty-six years of law enforcement,

and I have never had a case like this.

Don't get too excited.

If this is a serial thing,

they have jurisdiction.

Now, as far as I am concerned, this

new information clears you outright.

Who is he?

He looks like FBI, this guy.

Yeah, he's a tech from the lab.

They want to take a DNA swab from you.

Now? Art, at my mother's funeral?

I know, you're right.

But please, Jack, do it.

It will clear you officially soon.

I need you on this case.

Please, you can do it by the van.

All right.

He finally fell asleep. Good.

You don't have to do that, baby.

It could wait till tomorrow.

There's never been a dirty dish

left in this sink overnight.

I am not about to start now.

Have a drink.

Want one? No, I am fine.

He will be all right.

He's already talking about working tomorrow.

I just can't imagine him

alone in this house.

I mean, he's never even washed

a dish in his entire life.

Maybe we should do it.

Maybe we should move up here.

Oh, no.

Can't quite see you playing

local sheriff, Jack.

It's not your thing.

Who's this?

Jack, I am sorry it's late.

It's all right. Come in.

Honey, it's Tony Ragusa.

I am very sorry about your mom.

I couldn't come today.

Come on in, it's raining. Come on.

I have got police business,

and I am afraid it's not very pleasant.

We need to talk.

What is it?

Ellie Nelson.

We found her body way upriver, naked.

Looked like she'd been in there

for two or three days.

Honey, what's the matter?

She had this in her things.

"Samaria will be held guilty.

For she has rebelled against her God."

Signed, Elijah.

Was she wearing a wedding ring?

I don't know.

I need to see the body.

Call the coroner.

What is it?

Just call the f***ing coroner.

Jesus, Jack.

Are you sure?

Yes. I am sure, Jack.

I am so sorry, Ellie.

Tony, I am sorry about before.

Hey, no worries, now that I understand.

God, what kind of a crazy bastard

would do something like that?

This makes me sick.

Always something to fix around here.

Dad, you and Mom never

wore wedding rings, huh?

We never saw the need.

Do you have them? Sure.

She's got a jewelry box, keeps it

in the bottom drawer of the bureau.

I should have buried it with her.

Jack.

I got to go back down.

The FBI has a list.

There's other victims in other states.

Oh, my God. Jesus, Jack.

Couldn't it be just a coincidence?

No. No, the killer has

a very distinct signature.

It's very graphic.

They were killed by the same person, Ana.

Oh... Oh...

Your mother?

No. No, I am sure about that, no.

So, what do you mean?
