Small Town Murder Songs Page #4

Synopsis: Walter is the chief of police in a small Ontario town that has its first murder victim, an attractive young woman who is found naked on the shores of the nearby lake. The woman isn't local and while the Ontario Provincial Police have taken the lead in the investigation, Walter assists where he can. The town is mostly a close-knit Mennonite community and Walter has recently returned to his church. He is also trying to deal with his own temper that led to a violent incident some months before. As the young woman is identified, it becomes apparent that Walter's former love interest may be lying.

Tox-screen shows

coke in her blood,

but I can't find

any priors on her.

Nothing from town?

No one saw anything or they're

not saying, if they did.

I gotta say, with no I.D.,

its not looking good.

You keep pushing that sketch

out province-wide.

You know if it was

drug-related,

maybe we'll catch

a break from known dealers.

Yeah, um, what do you

think about Mitzi's?

The Henchmen

have been dealing up there?

Strip-parlour

in Hanover.

Yeah, its about 80

kilometers from here, right?

Yeah, about 40 miles

on the sideroads.

They bring in from all over

and change em up every week.

Yeah, well, she certainly

fits the bill of a dancer.

Well, then I guess you boys get

a paid trip to the peelers.

What about the MTO,

anything from them?

Nothing yet.

No news of the disappearance

of 3 year old Jamie Smith,

missing from her home outside

Gray Fork since Thursday.

Police are asking

anyone with any information

to please come forward.

Family members have

offered a $10,000 reward

for any information that

leads to her safe recovery.

Think I should text Jenny

and let her know we're here?

Jim, grow up.

G'afternoon.

Good afternoon.

What can I do for

you, Walter? Its been a while.

You remember Jim?

Hello.

Mitzi around?

Nah, she just had

another kid last week,

a little girl named Mary,

so she's taking it easy.

You got that picture?

I don't know if you've

heard what happened.

Yeah, I heard something.

Have you seen her?

F***.

What?

What happened?

You recognize her?

Yeah, Mitzi uh -

sh*t.

She brought her in

last week

Melissa somethin'

from Hamilton maybe?

When she didn't show up on

Sunday, we thought she quit.

We better call

Washington.

Sure thing.

What happened?

Too soon to say.

Did she have any uh trouble

up here? Any bad clients?

Nah, I don't think

nothing like that.

We run a pretty tight

ship these days.

No drugs

in the club.

What people do outside,

thats there own business, right?

Mitzi fired a couple girls last

months for performin' extras,

but I ain't heard no

complaints about Mel.

Damn, that is

f***ed up.

Give a warm round

of applause for sexy Cindy.

Thank you, Cindy.

What did he say?

Well, we're going to need a last

name for Melissa, obviously,

as well as a number

for Mitzi.

Oh yeah, yeah sure.

Her husband's name is Jim,

just like yours.

He's going to be

around shortly so uh-

Hey Billy, you wanna get me a

sprite? I'm f***ing parched.

Sure thing.

Good afternoon,

officers.

G'afternoon.

M'am.

Here you go, darlin'.

Cheers.

Hey sweetie? Can you

give us a minute?

Don't mind me, I'm

just being a snoop.

No point getting them all

worked up hearing things
