“	The guy you're looking for, I think I've met him. A long time ago, he sat down next to me at the bar, and he had some wild stories about how he tricked girls into his car for nothing, five bucks, some loose cigarettes. He gave me those pictures you found. Hmm? Sick. ... He was big. Kinda guy, you'd just walk right by him. Said he killed 100 girls. Must be some kind of record.	„
