The story so far
Everything you need before watchingHe wants to help; the police say they cannot give him files, and they certainly cannot send him to Narlow in Napa. Eagle Scout gets him a dry “don't let me stop you.” He may look, but nothing leaves in ink—only what he can keep in his head. In the Vallejo folders, Darlene's house got nothing but heavy breathing the night she died.
