Homicide detectives are, in a way, storytellers.

Take a confusing jumble of facts and plot points like,

holistic, blood spatter, witness statements,

form them into a comprehensive narrative, beginning, middle, and end.

Make sense of the inexplicable.

As in the case of the shooting of Shane Moore,

on the surface and apparently simple story,

certainly know who done it.

Tucker herself told Detective Bill Ford it was she who pulled the trigger.

Why do you think you shot him?

I think because I felt like, like, there was a knife to my throat

and I didn't have anywhere to run.

OK, let me ask you this.

What I don't think I had to be so stupid, so stupid, so stupid, so stupid.

So that story had been told.

But the one that hadn't been, at least not to the detective satisfaction,

was the why Shane was shot story.

Was this self-defense come tragic accident, as Tucker said?

Or as Detective Gabe Birchfield believed,

something else all together?

It's almost like they were looking for something to happen

where they could concoct this story.
