Deadly Pickup Page #3

to the same school, so he offered to pick me up. I saw the ad for the room here and I had him drop me off here. I think I have enough

information for now. Great. Well, if you need to talk again, you know where

to find me. Well, if you see anything

or anyone suspicious, you give me a call. My number's on the back. You call me

day or night. Thanks, Deputy. You can call me Jeremy. Jeremy. I'll do that. ( coughing and gasping ) ( music playing ) So, the cops were at your place? Yeah, some kid apparently

got killed a few days ago, left his car

on the side of the road. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I heard about that. Yeah, I guess you never know

when you're gonna buy it. But, Charlie,

the same day that happens, this woman, Breezy,

shows up at our house. You're telling

me that's a

coincidence. This is your new tenant? Yeah, and frankly, something seemed off about her,

right from the beginning. So why did you rent to her? We need

the money. Brian's going to school, and we can't live off

what I make in this dump. Hey! No offence. Well, did you do a background

check, did you check her credit? No, she's just a college kid.

Paid in cash. Well, it's none

of my business, but if I have

a potential murderer living under

my roof... I'm not sure I'd go that far. I mean, she talked to the cops

and they let her go. Still, I mean, if it were me,

I'd look into it. Well, what can I do? I can't exactly kick her out

without a reason. I'm not saying kick her out, I'm saying,

learn more about her. How? Well, she's not

always home, right? She goes out.

Next time she does. Sneak in her room,

look through her sh*t. Really? That doesn't seem right. What's right got

to do with it? She's living in your home. You got a dead body

down the street. The cops are knocking

at your door. I think you're

way past right and wrong

here. Trust me,

you'll sleep

better. Maybe you're right. Okay, thanks. You know, I really appreciate

you guys getting right on this. Yeah, thanks. I got some background

on our vic. Josh Clark. Registered

as a student at

State University. Well, that makes sense. I think the fall semester

starts up this week. Right. Well, that was your

pal over at the lab

on the phone. They got some DNA off

the wound which is

not Clark's. So that's got to be our killer. I got them checking all

the national data bases and we ought to have

an answer by morning. Well, even if he's not

in the system, we come up

with a suspect, we'll have something

to match it with. Right, now how did

your door to door go? Spent most of yesterday

canvassing the neighborhood going up and down the canyon. 20 homes total. Anything? Well, nothing to be

suspicious about really. Pretty much a dead end. Ah, that's okay. It was a long shot anyway. ( telephone ringing ) Sheriff's station.
