It sends me into a rage that I go out of the room. He said I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm looking for something. And he said I pick up what I think is a piece of rebar. And I go back in the room and I hit him.

Thanks for having me back. Thank you for coming back. Thank you for giving up another day off. We can't say enough about how generous that is. So BK, you have a really interesting case for us today.

Tell us how this case came to you. So I was sitting at my desk. I'm a new detective. I've been a detective for a whole month. When this call came in, I had a partner as assigned a senior detective as a partner.

And on October 29th, I'm sitting at my desk. It's a little after 11 in the morning. And my partner comes and says, Hey, we got to go. We have a suspicious death call.

We hadn't had a murder in our town in seven years. Oh, my. Yeah, it was unusual. Like they actually needed a detective to come out and check this out.

So we hop in the car and we're driving over to this cheap motels, cheapest motel in our town. It consists of about 15 rooms right off the freeway.

And I said, what's suspicious about this call? And he said, all this is a 911 call. The hotel manager said there's a man bleeding from his face.

So we get there. There's paramedics there. And there's two pretty new officers there less than three years on.

And I don't think they had ever seen anything like this. But when we get there, the first officer starts to brief us and says, Yeah, when we showed up, the paramedics are coming out of the room. And they tell us that this guy's dead.

And one of the officers says, Are you sure? And they're like, we're pretty sure. Do you think we should have taken a pulse? And they're like, Yeah, you should have taken a pulse.
