MCNARY WAS STANDING

RIGHT THERE.

HE MUST HAVE SEEN ME TAKE

THE NUMBER FROM THE RECEIPT.

SO ARE YOU SAYING

THAT HE WANTED:

THE ARMOR SO BADLY,

THAT HE BROKE INTO YOUR SHOP,

GOT THE ADDRESS,

AND CAME HERE:

TO STEAL IT?

THAT HAD TO BE WHAT HAPPENED.

AND THERE ARE ABOU EIGHT MEMBERS TO YOUR TEAM?

YES, BU YOU'RE NOT THINKING

ANY OF THEM:

MIGHT BE INVOLVED?

YOU'RE PART OF A GROUP

WHOSE IDEA OF A GOOD TIME

IS TO BEAT ON EACH OTHER

WITH SWORDS, AXES, AND MACES.

YOU DO USE MACES

IN THESE MOCK BATTLES, RIGHT?

YES, SOMETIMES.

I'LL DEFINITELY BE

LOOKING INTO IT.

I'LL GIVE YOU

THEIR NAMES AND NUMBERS.

OKAY.

HOW MUCH IS THAT ARMOR WORTH?

WELL, SUPPOSEDLY,

IT'S A REPRODUCTION,

SO AROUND $1,500.

YET, HE BREAKS INTO YOUR STORE

AND THEN INTO THIS HOUSE,

FOR A SUIT OF ARMOR

YOU CAN BUY ON THE INTERNET?

ACTUALLY, NOT.

THIS SUI IS EXQUISITELY DETAILED.

IT COULD PASS FOR A REAL ONE.

WELL, HOW MUCH

WOULD IT BE WORTH?

IF YOU COULD FIND ONE?

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $50,000

AND $100,000.

[EXHALING]

OKAY,

WELL, THERE'S THE MOTIVE.

HE OBVIOUSLY THOUGH IT WAS THE REAL THING.

SO, WHO'S OUR KILLER,

AND WHY DID HE LEAVE THE ARMOR?

SIR, LOOKS AS IF

A CROWBAR OR SOMETHING

WAS USED TO PRY:

OPEN THE WINDOW.

THIS HOUSE DOESN' HAVE AN ALARM?

IT DOES, WE JUS DON'T USE IT.

WHY?

TOO MANY:

FALSE ALARMS.

I FEEL:

CONFIDENT ENOUGH

TO DEAL WITH:

AN INTRUDER.

[SIGHS]

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER

PUTS THE TIME OF DEATH

AT AROUND 3:
00 A.M.

WHERE WERE YOU TWO

AT THAT TIME?

I WAS HOME. ASLEEP.

I WASN'T.

AND WHERE WERE YOU?

MY NIGHT OFF.

I WAS AT MY GIRLFRIEND'S.

DO YOU FIND I A BIT ODD

SOMEONE BREAKS INTO YOUR HOUSE

AND A MURDER TAKES PLACE,

AND YOU SLEEP THROUGH

THE WHOLE THING?

NOT REALLY.

MY BEDROOM DOOR:

IS MADE OF SOLID OAK.

IT'S QUIET AS A TOMB IN THERE.

[BELL JINGLES]

YOU WERE RIGHT.

NOTHING'S BEEN TAKEN,

NOTHING'S BEEN TOUCHED,

BUT THE BACK WINDOW WAS JIMMIED.

I DIDN'T TOUCH A THING.

THAT WHERE YOU GO THE PHONE NUMBER FOR WALLACE?

YES. I NOTICED

IT WAS SLIGHTLY OPEN

WHEN I GOT HERE THIS MORNING.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT PEOPLE

AND ALARMS?

I KNOW YOU HAVE ONE.

FOR A WHILE.

YEAH, WE HAVE

A STICKER!

BUT WE'RE GONNA GET IT FIXED.

FORENSICS IS:
