Okay. It was late in the morning, around 11:00 or so.

I was painting the side of the building, and I smelled this really bad smell.

So I went over to the bushes and there she was...

He took his belongings?

Do you really think he's gone for good?

Did he say anything about Nicole?

- Okay. See you then, - [Handset Settles In Cradle]

I found only a slight trace of blood on her clothing.

This indicates that she was killed naked...

and then redressed after the blood flow ceased.

The majority of damage was centered on the upper-left thorax.

A wooden object produced multiple costal fractures...

and a rupture of her left diaphragm.

You can see the extensive splintering.

I also found evidence of traumatic hemothorax and pulmonary confusions.

Massive internal bleeding caused her to suffocate.

All you gotta do is get up and go through me to get him.

There have been reports of a man on the island following your daughter.

I'd like to place Nicole under police observation.

No, I don't want that.

The man is Peter Winter, Nicole's real father.

I know he was staying at the harbor with his mother, Gladys Winter...

but he left her house yesterday.

The girl needs a father.

Would you have dinner with me tonight?

[Gladys] This is when he was a baby.

lust slept in his crib all day.

Could go about our work.

This is right after we moved to Miscou.

He wasn't allowed to have a dog of his own, so we went down the road to Mr. Miller's.

Played with his dog. Think his name was Dash.

Spent all day long with that dog,.

Dog died.

We said he could have a pet of his own, but he wasn't interested after that.

He finished at the top five percent of his class.

Then he went to Bathurst to college the next year.

To study science.

But he dropped out right at the beginning.

We didn't know.

He didn't want to be with us.

So he ended up on a boat off of Gaspé.

I think he was having difficulties.

Here he is when he thought he'd gained too much weight...

needed to go on a diet.

He lost 20 pounds in under a month, and he went from looking like this...

to looking like this.

Not a healthy look.

Just didn't look like him.

He gained a little of the weight back, but not enough.

He doesn't look like himself.

My husband made all those pictures.

He was a good man.

He took care of his family.

[McNally] Do you have any idea where your son might have gone?

He came to see his daughter, and when she didn't show up, he left.

Why did you put Nicole up for adoption?

Do you know what it's like to see your son deteriorate?

When he was growing up, he was a quiet boy, but he was happy.

And then all of a sudden he changed.

I won't have that same thing happen to her.

Well, he didn't really do anything, but he made me think...

Fine. - So, are you going to protect us?
