But Tim Kniff didn't know any of that when he stopped by Dockweiler Beach near LAX to take a short walk and unwind after work.

The flyer had a picture of Marie, a description of her car, and the car's license number.

Kniff studied it and put it in his pocket.

A short time later, he finished his walk, got into his car, and started to drive home.

The next day, November 16th, the gray Saab was towed to the Englewood PD impound lot.

Police looked it over very carefully.

There were several parking tickets under the windshield wipers.

It had been there for a while.

The battery had been removed.

The driver's seat had been tilted forward, and a cell phone, unusual at the time, was left in plain sight.

After inspecting the interior, investigators opened the trunk and made a ghastly discovery.

Marie Singleton was missing no longer.

She had been beaten and strangled to death.

Maurice's son Marcus, then just eight years old, knew something was wrong when he came home from school and saw that all over the neighborhood, his mom's missing flyers had been taken down.

Everyone in tears.

But even she didn't know exactly what Marie did.

We loved her as a sister.

We respected her as a sister.

And with her job, she traveled a lot.
