Sid and Danny in “Help”

Sid

Danny?

Danny

Hey, Sid.

Sid

I got a message from Stella to hold off on the accident report on Laurel Downs, the vic from the bridal store. So I did a little more investigating on the body.

Danny

Find something?

Sid

Well, the cuts on her hand, they were fresh. So, I thought perhaps she fell when she was running, but I didn't find any trace of gravel, grass, or dirt. Also ruled out bite marks and nails, anything that would indicate, uh, you know, a chick fight.

Danny

Right. What about the pictures I sent over from the dress?

Sid

Right. Tried to match the cuts from the ornamentation. Again, no match. So, being a little preoccupied th-the inexplicable, I did some lunchtime OT, and I got a DNA report back.

Danny

Eleanor Ravelle's blood was in the cuts of Laurel Downs' hand?

Sid

Any way Laurel could have killed Eleanor, dumped her in the bathtub, then jogged over to the wedding dress sale?

Danny

No, I mean, the crime scenes are on the opposite ends of town. The T.O.D's are much too close together. Okay… how is this possible?

Sid

Stranger things have been known to happen. Mark Twain was born on the day Halley's Comet first appeared. He died on its next appearance, 75 years later.

Danny

Wow. You've been hanging out with Lindsay, Sid?

Sid

Hmm? What?

Danny

Coincidence. First of all, we find out that Laurel Downs was raped eight years ago by the same guy who killed and raped Eleanor Ravelle and now. I don't know why, Sid, but, I mean, these vics have gotta be connected.
