She was upset her wedding wasn't going to get rained on? 192 00:11:02,380 --> 00:11:05,660 It's not what brides usually want, but still, people don't tend to kill over 193 00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:06,419 the weather. 194 00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:07,420 You sure about that? 195 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,580 Because those texts that Blair's asking people to delete before the cops see 196 00:11:11,580 --> 00:11:12,580 them? 197 00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:15,060 They literally say she's going to kill her. 198 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,780 I barely knew Ava. 199 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,000 I didn't even like her. You're not doing yourself any favors leading with that. 200 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,540 I just mean Ava was Ryan's friend. 201 00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:33,380 One of his weather nerds. They're all supposed to be experts, which is why I 202 00:11:33,380 --> 00:11:34,980 believed her when she said the hurricane was coming. 203 00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:38,440 One of your friends was kind enough to share with us a few messages you sent 204 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,440 Ava yesterday. 205 00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:43,260 You have no idea what you've cost me. I'm going to make you pay for this. The 206 00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:44,820 minute I find you, I'm going to kill you. 207 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,040 I can see why you wanted people to delete those. I wanted them deleted so I 208 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,700 wouldn't look like a murder suspect. 209 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,300 Funny how trying to destroy evidence can backfire that way. I was exaggerating. 210 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,100 Would I have texted all of that if I did kill her? 211 00:11:58,340 --> 00:11:59,340 Why were you so angry? 212 00:11:59,660 --> 00:12:01,320 You didn't get your storm chaser wedding. 213 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:02,680 So what? 214 00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:04,500 If you're not an influencer, you wouldn't understand. 215 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,080 Try me. 216 00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:10,580 I spent years building a following, and I finally landed a top adventure brand, 217 00:12:11,060 --> 00:12:12,060 Arctic Mountain. 218 00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:15,370 And not just free products and an affiliate code, a real contract. 219 00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:19,090 How much money are we talking? Depending on performance, a lot. 220 00:12:20,050 --> 00:12:23,610 I promised my followers a wedding straight out of a disaster movie. 221 00:12:23,870 --> 00:12:27,610 And instead, I got sunshine and butterflies and I looked like an idiot. 222 00:12:28,030 --> 00:12:31,110 A few of the people I already interviewed, they all lost track of you 223 00:12:31,110 --> 00:12:32,570 right before Eva's body was discovered. 224 00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:33,790 You run off somewhere? 225 00:12:34,270 --> 00:12:35,270 Well, yeah. 226 00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:36,750 I was moping. 227 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,540 Look. That was taken right before the day was ruined. 228 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,340 Look at that dress. 229 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000 These nails. 230 00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:55,100 Do you honestly think I went outside and that I beat someone to death? 231 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,020 Because if you do, you should talk to the cops who got to the house first and 232 00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:00,680 ask them if I had a single hair out of place. 233 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,320 It sucks that someone killed Ava, but it wasn't me. 234 00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:07,300 Hey. 235 00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:08,660 Some water. 236 00:13:12,910 --> 00:13:15,670 Your fiancée, she's pretty animated, huh? 237 00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:19,490 Yeah, I'd say animated is sort of her default setting. 238 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:24,870 But like I said, she didn't kill Ava. She was just mad at her about the mix-up 239 00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:25,729 with the hurricane. 240 00:13:25,730 --> 00:13:26,730 You weren't? 241 00:13:27,650 --> 00:13:29,330 No, it wasn't Ava's fault. 242 00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:31,990 Can I show you something? 243 00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:33,070 Yeah. 244 00:13:34,210 --> 00:13:39,390 Two nights ago, a little after midnight, Ava sent us this. Took it off the site 245 00:13:39,390 --> 00:13:42,350 for the National Hurricane Center. They're the source for things like this. 246 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,380 Right. I mean, I see that's a hurricane, but so what? What am I missing? 247 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,280 This map showed Matilda was over the Abaco Islands. 248 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,340 They're part of the Bahamas, about 180 miles east of Florida. 249 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,260 Along with the high-pressure ridge that forced the storm west. 250 00:13:57,540 --> 00:14:01,340 If a hurricane hits the Abacos, it's basically a lock to hit here. There's 251 00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:05,140 nowhere else for it to go. That's why Ava jumped the gun. The thing is, this 252 00:14:05,140 --> 00:14:07,080 map is wrong. Wrong? Wrong how? 253 00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:11,020 I mean, storms change course all the time. They don't unhit an island. 254 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,440 This is the map that's up now. 255 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,940 It doesn't just say the storm changed course. It says Matilda never hit the 256 00:14:18,940 --> 00:14:23,080 Abacus. So, sorry, the first map, the one that Ava saw, it showed something 257 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,080 that never happened? 258 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,040 How does the National Hurricane Center make a mistake like that? 259 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,120 I have no idea, but as mistakes go, it was colossal. 260 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,320 All of Florida woke up yesterday to the news that the hurricane turned, right? 261 00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:39,240 But you must have missed it somehow. 262 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,320 I mean, if you hadn't, you wouldn't have gone ahead with the wedding prep, right? 263 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,940 It's just you and your friends. 264 00:14:45,340 --> 00:14:48,720 You're literally students of the weather. How is it you didn't know the 265 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,720 latest? 266 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,280 I did. 267 00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:57,380 Ava called me early yesterday and told me the storm wasn't coming. 268 00:14:58,020 --> 00:14:59,140 She'd seen the new map. 269 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,640 But by then, Blair was already doing Blair. I just, I couldn't bring myself 270 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:05,640 to tell her. 271 00:15:05,790 --> 00:15:09,030 And I thought that the us getting married part was more important than the 272 00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:10,390 getting pics for her followers. 273 00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:12,470 I guess I was wrong. 274 00:15:13,170 --> 00:15:14,530 Wedding's on hold to the next hurricane. 275 00:15:14,930 --> 00:15:15,930 I see. 276 00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:18,450 What time did you talk to Ava? 277 00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:23,390 Around 9 a.m. She told me she was heading down to the NHC in Miami. 278 00:15:23,730 --> 00:15:26,570 She wanted to complain about the map in person. She was ticked. 279 00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:28,610 How ticked? 280 00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,940 Yeah, okay. I got it. Thank you so much. 281 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,820 Those two ain't gonna make it. Well, you never know. Love is weird. 282 00:15:42,140 --> 00:15:43,140 You're weird. 283 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,640 What'd you think of the bride? 284 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,900 Didn't like her, as a person or a suspect. 285 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,300 Which is unfortunate, because so far, none of the wedding guests I've talked 286 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,120 to had a reason to hurt Ava, let alone beat her to death. 287 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,540 What if it wasn't a wedding guest? 288 00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:57,930 You know how the bride was ticked at Ava for getting the forecast wrong? 289 00:15:58,430 --> 00:16:01,690 Well, according to the groom, Ava was ticked at the National Hurricane Center. 290 00:16:02,010 --> 00:16:05,090 He said she went down there yesterday to try to get someone fired for posting bad 291 00:16:05,090 --> 00:16:08,710 information. You know if she succeeded? Yeah, a guy named Cody Janzik just got 292 00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:09,649 shown the door. 293 00:16:09,650 --> 00:16:11,550 What do you say? You want a road trip to Miami? 294 00:16:11,850 --> 00:16:14,690 Oof, I can't. I got a dozen more wedding guests coming in to be interviewed. 295 00:16:14,810 --> 00:16:16,230 Plus, I'm waiting on the Emmy's report. 296 00:16:16,450 --> 00:16:20,230 But I have it on good authority.

You still committed a crime. 393 00:21:12,740 --> 00:21:16,720 Fraud. You used your position at the NHC to manipulate the markets. If a client 394 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,740 exposed you, you still had motive to want her dead. No, I didn't. No? 395 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,580 No. I gambled that the center wouldn't press charges on me because they didn't 396 00:21:24,580 --> 00:21:25,580 want that type of attention. 397 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,600 And I was right. 398 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,700 They just wanted me gone. 399 00:21:30,660 --> 00:21:33,960 You can set up your own little bet, if you like. 400 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,320 Will Cody Jancic get arrested for killing somebody?

I wouldn't have approached you if I wasn't 416 00:22:30,170 --> 00:22:31,750 convinced that Gabriel didn't do it. 417 00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:36,810 And I'd ask you to imagine the hurdles he's up against, because everyone reacts 418 00:22:36,810 --> 00:22:37,930 the way you're reacting now. 419 00:22:38,570 --> 00:22:40,210 If he didn't do it, why did he confess? 420 00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:41,679 He was 18. 421 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,940 He was exhausted.

Maybe it was just a mugging gone wrong. 438 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,340 I just got this report on other crimes in the area the last few months. Yeah, 439 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:41,320 and?

Trust me, it isn't. Keep reading. 466 00:24:53,530 --> 00:24:54,850 She had water in her lungs? 467 00:24:55,130 --> 00:24:58,650 Cause of death was drowning. And that's not the half of it. They pulled debris 468 00:24:58,650 --> 00:24:59,650 from her wounds. 469 00:25:00,010 --> 00:25:02,810 Vegetation, building materials, and those internal injuries? 470 00:25:03,030 --> 00:25:05,450 It's like they were sustained at over 100 miles an hour. 471 00:25:05,820 --> 00:25:08,840 If the Emmy didn't know better, he'd say Ava Kwan died in a hurricane. 472 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,460 Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Matilda never made landfall. 473 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,680 This is my point. 474 00:25:13,020 --> 00:25:15,520 How's somebody killed by a hurricane that never came? 475 00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:22,400 They're cranking it up to 80 miles an hour now. I'm trying to be tough, but 476 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,800 I'm not sure how much more I can... That's how you get hurricane injuries 477 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,800 without a hurricane. 478 00:25:27,180 --> 00:25:28,220 A hurricane simulator. 479 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,520 Yeah. I remember my client talking about the research she did with Ava Kwan, so I 480 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,319 looked into it. 481 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,340 Their school is a simulator just like this. 482 00:25:35,540 --> 00:25:38,840 You load enough debris, you blast enough water, you can demolish a house. 483 00:25:39,140 --> 00:25:42,300 You think someone used it to demolish Ava Kwan? It's a pretty elaborate way to 484 00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:44,660 kill someone. I know, but it makes sense if you think a hurricane is coming. 485 00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:48,020 Use a simulator to kill Ava. Dump her body outside the wedding where you know 486 00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:49,900 she's expected to be. Until it takes the blame. 487 00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:52,180 The simulator at your client's school. You got an address? 488 00:25:53,780 --> 00:25:56,100 Detective, I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. 489 00:25:56,500 --> 00:26:00,160 This group is like a family. No one here would have heard Ava, let alone lock her 490 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,059 in a simulator. 491 00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:02,360 Well, for their sakes, I hope you're right. 492 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,340 Meantime, I'm going to need a list of everyone who has access to this place. 493 00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:06,720 Can you put that together for me? 494 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,280 Of course. 495 00:26:15,860 --> 00:26:17,800 I feel like I'm inside the world's biggest dishwasher. 496 00:26:18,879 --> 00:26:22,320 Yeah, unfortunately, that's a pretty good analogy.

Not 593 00:31:20,470 --> 00:31:22,970 feeling like a coincidence, but what are you getting at? What, do you like the 594 00:31:22,970 --> 00:31:25,910 old roommate again? No, no, no, no, no. She had an alibi for her murder. What 595 00:31:25,910 --> 00:31:29,110 I'm getting at is I think someone stole these items, but it wasn't the ex 596 00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:30,530 -roommate, and it wasn't a thief. 597 00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:33,520 A thief would have pawned the earrings. He never would have bothered with the T 598 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,420 -shirt in the first place. Okay, but if not a thief, who? How about a stalker? 599 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,980 That's definitely them. 600 00:31:46,780 --> 00:31:50,900 That shirt might even be one of a kind. Some friend of hers silkscreened it. 601 00:31:51,220 --> 00:31:53,200 Yeah, and these things never turned up, right? 602 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,600 I know. I never saw them again. 603 00:31:56,220 --> 00:31:59,300 Did you ever notice anyone unfamiliar hanging around the building? 604 00:31:59,790 --> 00:32:01,850 Maybe someone Ava seemed uneasy about? 605 00:32:02,370 --> 00:32:03,370 No. 606 00:32:03,650 --> 00:32:08,270 Can I ask how any of this is related? Because your questions are starting to 607 00:32:08,270 --> 00:32:11,830 scare me a little. It's just a theory right now. One that was suggested by the 608 00:32:11,830 --> 00:32:13,030 PI you met the other day. 609 00:32:13,230 --> 00:32:14,310 But the pieces fit. 610 00:32:14,790 --> 00:32:17,850 As you know, intimate items were disappearing from Ava's room. She was 611 00:32:17,850 --> 00:32:19,290 convinced someone was going through her things. 612 00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:23,550 And now, two of these items have turned up. One on her purse and one at her 613 00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:24,550 place of work. 614 00:32:24,570 --> 00:32:27,830 What? We're investigating the possibility Ava had a stalker. 615 00:32:28,580 --> 00:32:30,060 Someone who got into your apartment somehow. 616 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,500 Some stalkers, they take items from the person they're obsessed with as 617 00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:34,620 trophies, souvenirs. 618 00:32:34,860 --> 00:32:36,060 Gives them a sense of control. 619 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,840 Helps them feed their fantasies. 620 00:32:38,420 --> 00:32:39,420 Oh, my God. 621 00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:45,120 When she asked me about this stuff, I was so dismissive. I thought she made 622 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:45,979 the whole thing up. 623 00:32:45,980 --> 00:32:48,840 All that time, some creep might have been coming into our home. 624 00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:53,560 I'm sorry. I never saw anyone strange around. 625 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,360 I can't help you. 626 00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:05,880 Oh, hey. Hey. 627 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,480 Thanks for meeting with me. I know you're busy with a case. No, no, no. I 628 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,200 got a minute. This is the case file you were telling me about? Yeah. The guy you 629 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,300 think didn't kill a cop? 630 00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:18,720 His name's Gabriel Romero. And you said his lawyers want you to help out on the 631 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,340 PR side of things, right? Okay. 632 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,980 Guess you want me to poke around, make sure you can feel good about backing his 633 00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:26,600 cause? Actually, no. 634 00:33:27,460 --> 00:33:31,270 I already told them I'm not doing the PR thing. I've spent... Too much time in 635 00:33:31,270 --> 00:33:32,229 the spotlight already. 636 00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:35,150 What I want is to hire you to find a real killer. 637 00:33:37,930 --> 00:33:43,230 Problem? No, no, no, it's no problem. It's just, um, it's a big 10-year-old 638 00:33:43,230 --> 00:33:44,230 case, cop killing. 639 00:33:44,530 --> 00:33:45,890 I thought you liked the challenge. 640 00:33:46,330 --> 00:33:49,850 It's just, what if I find out this guy really did it? 641 00:33:50,650 --> 00:33:52,010 Then I'll be glad I was careful. 642 00:33:52,490 --> 00:33:54,490 But my gut says he's innocent. 643 00:33:56,430 --> 00:33:58,790 All right, let me dig into this right after. 644 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,360 Whatever it is you're doing, do you have to do it right now? 645 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,300 Well, truth be told, I should have got it done a long time ago. 646 00:34:10,699 --> 00:34:14,960 Yeah, half these weather strips are so old, the first heavy rain we get, she's 647 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:15,960 going to laugh at them. 648 00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:19,560 Huh. All this hurricane talk got my posterior in gear. 649 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,239 Be prepared, Arj. 650 00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:22,820 Boy Scouts motto. 651 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,560 Got it.

Good seeing you. 654 00:34:36,949 --> 00:34:38,550 Hey, how'd it go with Ava's roommate? 655 00:34:38,929 --> 00:34:41,710 Well, no insight into who her theoretical stalker might be, but 656 00:34:41,710 --> 00:34:44,949 talking to her did make me think of another question. What? Someone was 657 00:34:44,949 --> 00:34:48,130 taking trophies from Ava's apartment. Someone we think is connected to the 658 00:34:48,130 --> 00:34:49,130 hurricane simulator. 659 00:34:49,270 --> 00:34:52,590 Somehow, she identified this person, confronted him at work, and got herself 660 00:34:52,590 --> 00:34:55,929 killed. Okay, here's my question. How did she end up in the iguana shirt? 661 00:34:57,350 --> 00:34:59,990 Say you're right. She found our guy's secret stash that day. 662 00:35:00,370 --> 00:35:03,550 Why put this shirt on? It's a weird time to change your clothes, no? 663 00:35:05,350 --> 00:35:06,470 What if he put it on her? 664 00:35:07,010 --> 00:35:08,010 Why would he do that? 665 00:35:08,850 --> 00:35:09,850 What if he had to? 666 00:35:11,630 --> 00:35:14,330 Stalker attacks Ava. Ava fights back. Maybe even draws blood. 667 00:35:14,610 --> 00:35:15,549 Some of it gets on her? 668 00:35:15,550 --> 00:35:17,170 Yeah. Now he's got a problem. 669 00:35:17,410 --> 00:35:19,490 He's got a body with his DNA on it. 670 00:35:20,050 --> 00:35:21,070 He's also got a solution. 671 00:35:21,330 --> 00:35:23,830 The shirt he stole from her. So he changes her into it. 672 00:35:24,450 --> 00:35:27,810 Ava didn't have any DNA or skin under her nails. The simulator probably took 673 00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:30,110 care of that. But our guy, he would still have defensive wounds. 674 00:35:30,470 --> 00:35:32,690 I didn't see anyone with wounds when we went to the lab, did you? 675 00:35:33,070 --> 00:35:36,470 No, but even if Ava scratches arms, all it would take is a long-sleeved shirt to 676 00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:37,470 hide them. 677 00:35:39,090 --> 00:35:41,490 You could get a court order, make them prove they don't have scratches. 678 00:35:41,870 --> 00:35:44,570 Are you forgetting how many names were on the list of people who had access to 679 00:35:44,570 --> 00:35:45,448 that simulator? 680 00:35:45,450 --> 00:35:48,830 There's no court order that would let us compel that many people to take their 681 00:35:48,830 --> 00:35:49,788 shirt off. 682 00:35:49,790 --> 00:35:51,490 Something like this, it needs to be targeted. 683 00:35:54,140 --> 00:35:58,240 What? No, just... Before I came here, I was at FM Station. 684 00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:01,880 Wish was doing some work on the bar. He was making sure everything was hurricane 685 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,420 ready. I'm sorry, is this relevant how? 686 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,400 That list of names we have, I may know a way we can narrow it down. 687 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,680 Man, do all college kids just wander in whenever they feel these days? 688 00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:18,160 It wasn't like that when I was in school. 689 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,140 Well, I cut class a lot. I wouldn't know. 690 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,180 Most of the work that we do is independent study. 691 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,240 You guys find out what happened to Ava? 692 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,200 Matter of fact, we think we did. Yeah. 693 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,360 Someone had been sneaking into her apartment, going through her stuff, 694 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,780 even. Took a couple things. 695 00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:35,420 You mean like a perv? We think Ava discovered the stolen things here, along 696 00:36:35,420 --> 00:36:37,360 with the person who took them. So he killed her. 697 00:36:38,860 --> 00:36:39,860 You two scram. 698 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,080 Mind rolling up your sleeves, Patrick? 699 00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:46,900 What?
