Because at first when you hear that, you're like... Oh, like he's just really like, he's really going out there, you know? So he's trying to make it seem like he's... But to them, they felt like this is part of it. They said he was playing a game with them.

As he danced, David said, I know you guys think I'm the number one suspect as he's dancing. Oh. And they reminded him that they were from missing persons, not homicide. Uh-huh. But all David said was, hey, I'm the number one suspect. I should be if I'm not. What the fuck?

During their conversation, Townsend mentioned a gold jacket of David's that had gone missing in early April. Oh, shit. Which he told her had been stolen out of his car. I bet. Detective Stoneybrook said, and his name is Stoneybrook. That's iconic. I just need to, can we all just take, hold space for that? He had to be a detective. That's a great name.
