10 FEET AWAY.

THAT COULD BE:

A REPRODUCTION.

BUT IT'S NOT.

BUT IT COULD'VE

BEEN A REPRO.

EXCEPT... I SAW THIS.

HAYWORTH'S BLACK WAX.

100% BEESWAX.

ANYONE WITH A REPRO

WOULD HAVE NEVER EVEN

HEARD OF THIS.

MOM, YOU ARE

A "FURNITURE WHISPERER".

THIS NEWSPAPER:

IS DATED FIVE YEARS AGO.

WELL, NOW YOU KNOW

WHEN IT WAS PACKED.

OH, ACTUALLY,

THIS IS PRETTY COOL, TOO.

ITS INITIALS ARE "D.B."

HEY, I WONDER

IF IT'S THE SAME GUY

WHO JUMPED OUT OF THAT JE WITH ALL THE MONEY.

WHAT? YOU MEAN

D.B. COOPER?

YEAH, YEAH,

THAT GUY.

WELL, I THINK HIS INITIALS

WOULD HAVE BEEN "D B C".

OH.

WELL, ANYWAY,

THE MONEY IS STILL MISSING.

WOULDN'T MIND FINDING THA IN A STORAGE UNIT.

HMM.

YEAH, AND WHEN

YOU FIND IT,

YOU CAN PUT I IN YOUR NICE NEW PURSE.

[CHUCKLING]

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

COME BACK TOMORROW.

IT'LL JUST TAKE A SECOND.

I GOT YOUR LETTER

AND I DROVE A CHECK DOWN.

JUST PUT IT THROUGH THE SLOT.

PLEASE,

I'LL SLEEP A LOT BETTER TONIGH IF I COULD JUST HAND I TO YOU IN PERSON.

ALL RIGHT.

COME ON IN.

[DOOR LOCK BUZZES OPEN]

JUST DRINK IT.

AH... SEE,

WHAT YOU'RE TASTING

IS THE KALE.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE

SUPER SPINACH.

OH, NO.

THIS IS REALLY, REALLY, BAD.

I'M JUST SAYING.

YEAH, WELL,

THE WORSE IT TASTES,

THE HEALTHIER IT IS.

WELL, THEN I AM GONNA

LIVE FOREVER.

[SIGHS, WINCING]

HE REALLY SAID HE THOUGH YOUR EARS WERE ATTRACTIVE?

YES, MY EARS.

PROBABLY BECAUSE

HIS WERE SO WEIRD,

WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE,

IF HE WERE SWEET.

I MEAN,

IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH,

A NICE GUY?

WITH NORMAL EARS?

HEY, VERN.

OH, HI, JENN.

HI, DANI.

HI.

MAN, THAT AUCTION

WAS BRUTAL, HUH?

OH, WELL, THAT WAS

OUR FIRST ONE,

SO, HOPEFULLY, WE DID OKAY

WITH THE UNIT WE BOUGHT.

OH, LISTEN,

IF YOU SEE ANYTHING

THAT MIGHT BE RIGH FOR MY STORE, LET ME KNOW.

OH, WE WILL.

WE HAVEN' STARTED SORTING IT.

OH.

HEARD THE NEWS, RIGHT?

YEAH, THERE WAS

SOME KIND OF BREAK-IN

DOWN AT THE SELF-STORAGE.

THE MANAGER IS MISSING.

COPS ARE:

ALL OVER THE PLACE.

OKAY, WELL,

TELL ME MORE:

ABOUT THIS ALTERCATION

WITH THIS GUY.

HIS STORAGE HAD BEEN AUCTIONED.

HE WAS VERY ANGRY.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT GET VIOLENT.

WHEN WAS THIS?

FOUR DAYS AGO.

HMM.

WELL, FOLEY'S WIFE SAYS

HE'S USUALLY HOME AROUND 7:00.

BY 9:
00, SHE STARTED CALLING,

COULDN'T REACH HIM,

WENT TO BED.

WAKES UP IN THE MORNING,

SEES HE NEVER CAME HOME,

DRIVES OVER HERE,

FINDS THIS.

THERE'S SOME BLOOD

ON THE CARPET, NOT A LOT,

AND SINCE MR. FOLEY

IS MISSING,

THE ASSUMPTION IS

THAT IT'S HIS.

ROBBERY?

NOT A VERY GOOD ONE,

$600 WAS FOUND IN FOLEY'S DESK.

WANT MY OPINION?

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA

GIVE IT TO ME ANYWAY,

SO GO AHEAD.

I THINK SOMEONE WAS KILLED,

AND I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA

OF WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE BODY.

OKAY TO GO INSIDE?

ALREADY PROCESSED.

MARTIN WAS AN EX-MARINE, TOUGH.

WELL, A FIGHT OCCURRED,

THAT'S OBVIOUS.

A FIGHT THA ESCALATED TO MURDER.

NOT NECESSARILY.

WE ONLY HAVE:

A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD

AND A MISSING PERSON.

THIS HELD A JAPANESE SWORD,

A SHORT ONE.

IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN STABBED,

THERE WOULDN'T BE

A LOT OF BLOOD, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

IT'D BE A SMALL,

BUT DEEP WOUND,

MOSTLY INTERNAL BLEEDING.

SO, WHERE'S THE BODY?

WELL, THE KILLER WANTED TO

GET RID OF THE BODY

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

THOSE STORE LOCKS ARE WHA THEY PUT ON EMPTY UNITS.

MARTIN SAID THEY WERE

95% OCCUPIED.

THERE WERE FOUR LOCKS

HANGING THERE YESTERDAY.

THERE ARE NOW THREE.

THERE ARE TWO MARKS

ON THE FLOOR HERE.

WHERE?

YOU'VE GOT TO GET IN THE

RIGHT LIGHT TO SEE THEM.

LIKE WHAT THE HEEL

OF A SHOE WOULD LEAVE

IF YOU WERE:

DRAGGING A BODY.

OKAY. YEAH,

I SEE THEM NOW.

BUT THEY ONLY GO TO HERE.

IT'S NOT LIKE HE JUS GOT UP AND WALKED AWAY.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

THE KILLER USED ONE OF THESE.

PUT THE BODY IN THE EMPTY UNI AND LOCKED I WITH THE STORAGE LOCK.

THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

JUST A HUNCH.

HEY, JENN.

SO, WE FOUND SOMEONE.

WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH

GIVING A PRELIMINARY I.D.?

SURE.

OKAY.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

THAT'S HIM.

HEY, GUYS.

HEY, HON', HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

[SIGHS]

HONEY, CAN I TALK TO YOU

FOR A SECOND?

YEAH, SURE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

JENN?

YOU OKAY?

WHAT HAPPENED?

[SIGHS]

MARTIN FOLEY WAS KILLED.

WHO'S HE?

HE OWNS THE STORAGE PLACE.

WOW, THAT'S TERRIBLE.

SO, HOW DOES THIS

INVOLVE YOU?

I SEEM TO HAVE A KNACK.

THIS PINCHES.

LAST TIME I SAW MARTIN

WAS RIGHT AFTER THE AUCTION.

A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THAT,

WE SPOKE LONGER.

AND THAT'S WHEN YOU

WITNESSED THE ALTERCATION?

YES, LAST THURSDAY.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE

THIS MAN FOR ME?

LATE 40s, 5'9."

IN SHAPE.

BLUE-GREEN EYES,

INTERESTING COLOR.

DARK HAIR, BEARD,

A LITTLE GRAY:

AROUND THE TEMPLES.

DON'T THEY HAVE

A SECURITY CAMERA?

YEAH, NO, IT'S BROKEN,

LONG TIME AGO.

DID YOU HEAR:

ANY SPECIFIC THREATS?

JUST A LOT OF ANGRY SHOUTING,

I COULDN'T MAKE OUT ANY WORDS.

AND THEN WHEN MARTIN

CAME BACK IN THE OFFICE,

WAS HE:
