Do anything. Yeah, it's like that scene of The Simpsons where Hans Mole Man's car goes off the road and it taps a tree and then blows up.
Well, regardless of all the obvious signs of criminal wrongdoing, the South African police once again gave the situation an old-fashioned, what are you going to do?
And they just moved on with their day. As far as Gerard's wife went, Cecilia told her that before Gerard even got in the car with Zach that day, he'd crossed the road to where two Nigerians were sitting in a white car.
She was told that after a brief conversation, her husband got in with the Nigerians and drove off. Wow. But when Gerard's wife called his mother with this news, Gerard's mother pretty much said, oh, yeah, totally sounds like something Gerard would do. I wouldn't worry about it.
Everyone's been like, yeah, that's to be expected. So Gerard's wife, completely powerless, just had to accept the story for at least the time being, although she had strong suspicions that something terrible had happened to her husband.
And I think that this just adds to the pile. Yeah. Meanwhile, a medical examiner had looked over Gerard Jackson's charred corpse and immediately decided that there was no foul play involved, solely because there weren't any bullet wounds or obvious injuries. But... One thing that the doctor was interested in was determining the race of the body.
Because even though it was charred, it still looked a lot like it belonged to a black guy. And Zach Valentine was lily white. Let's check its butt.
To head off this discovery, Miranda claimed that Zach was her brother and demanded that the body be immediately released to her care so she could cremate it as soon as possible.
So by either being a huge pain in the ass or most likely by making a couple of well-placed bribes, Miranda was able to get the body released and transferred to a funeral home with the oddly informal name of Martin's Funerals.
It would be a lot better if it was Crazy Martin's Funerals.
Come on down to Crazy Martin's Funerals and we'll get you a funeral for half the price of any other funeral home in town.
Once the body was there, Miranda brazenly demanded that the cremation be done as soon as possible so she could finalize paperwork on an insurance claim. She told him straight up, this is what I'm trying to do. The funeral director, however, was a man of protocol and soon saw through Cecilia's lie about being Zach's brother.
Well, even if he wasn't a man of principle, I'd imagine that the cult spent all their bribe money on the medical examiner. So Cecilia called Zach's parents and told them that their son was dead and she needed them to approve the cremation. All in one conversation.
Amazingly, they agreed.
And they said they'd come to Martin's funerals the next day to pay for the cremation themselves.
Well, as far as everyone else in Zach's life went, Electus Perdeus quickly spread the word that Zach had died in a horrible, fiery car accident. In reality, though, Zach was hiding out at the Herberg Hotel, where the cult brought him insulin, food, and smokes. At night, however, he would sneak out to Cecilia's apartment, albeit heavily disguised. My true form.
Later, during the trial for Gerard Jackson's murder, Zach would try to flip the whole thing back to Cecilia, saying that he only went along with the life insurance scheme because he was still too distraught over Michaela's death. And he believed that he was doing what he needed to do to protect the rest of his family.
Yep. The police, however, were finally doing something, although they were doing it slowly. And when I mean slowly, I mean very, very slowly. See, before Gerard's body could be cremated, an investigator managed to halt the process so they could take a DNA sample.
The body was transferred back to police custody where a sample was taken, and by June of 2016, they said, they could properly identify the corpse. Oh! Problem was, June was six months away. Jesus Christ. And Electus Perdeus would murder three more people in quick succession before those results came back. Now, as far as the insurance claim went, that was hitting roadblocks as well.
Because while Electus Perdeus had proved themselves to be effective killers, they were terrible criminals.
