I could imagine the private detective sitting in his car with the window rolled down. He stared intently into the fog at the bus stop, knowing that this was the exact spot the killer had stalked his last victim. He was starting to understand him, feel him, get into his head, embrace him in some ways….<BR/><BR/>LOL, sorry, didn’t mean to spin your photo, but this is what goes on in my head….
