Hey guys, I'm here at Crystal Ridge National Park. I woke up feeling so

sipping coffee in my brand new Odyssey Travel Mug.

So tasty.

And I just love this mug.

Take a look at this view.

Can you believe this is how I woke up?

Morning, Blue.

Morning.

Did he sleep well?

Yeah, good for you.

Tomorrow night, you are on the ground.

Get this day started.

No, my foot's on the floor.

That sounds like real love to me.

Well, now I've got this knot between my shoulder blades. I'm gonna have to get

him a dog bed or something.

Uh, hey, Dad, I'm gonna have to let you go.

Talk soon.

What are you doing out here?

I was getting a climb in before I had to head to the rock and roast, but then my

quad sputtered out.

Not with Spring Pines again.

No, Detective.

Not with Spring Pines.

How long you been at it?

Long enough to know I'll probably have to walk.

May I?

You gonna show me up right now?

It's not very hard to do.

Give it a try.

Your spark plug wire was loose.

I was going to try that next.

Of course you were.

Where'd your partner go?

Blue?

Sorry.

I'm starting to think you're allergic to slow mornings.

Well, it was a slow morning until Blue found the body.

What do we know?

Not much.

No ID, no obvious cause of death, no sign of struggle, no bruising.

Autopsy report will be telling.

Anything found around her?

Only thing was a travel coffee mug.

Bagged it already.

Close to the campsite at Silver Creek, just south of here.

She wasn't staying at Silver Creek.

How do you know?

There's ponderosa pine needles on her ankle.

She's right.

Only campsite with those trees is Echo Valley.

All right. Why don't you check out Echo Valley?

We'll take a look at Silver Creek just in case.

Copy that.

All right, you guys are good?

I gotta head to work.

Corner's on the way for body removal.

Hey, military.

I want to change into your uniform before you start kicking in doors.

This is Officer Larson with the MPS Police.

Samantha Eaton.

Thanks. No problem. Found

her

campsite. Her name is Samantha Eaton, and she was not alone.

Copy.

Let's walk through what we have so far.

Okay. So we now know that the victim had a husband.

That's right.

And his name is Dave Eaton. Age 24.

Dave and Samantha have been married a little over a year now.

We do have the video of them arriving together at the park yesterday.

I've been trying to call Dave. Haven't reached him yet. But I'll keep trying.

Nothing on his current whereabouts yet.

Results of the coroner's preliminary report are coming in soon.

Hopefully things get cleared up once we have a cause of death.

Samantha Eaton is a popular lifestyle blogger.

I looked up some background on Samantha's family, and both her parents

deceased, her mother more recently.

Dave and Samantha live about two hours from Crystal Ridge.

Her younger sister, Carrie Bristol, lives in the same town as them. As far

I'm aware, that's the extent of Samantha's family.

I reached out to Carrie Bristol. She's Samantha's next of kin after Dave, and

she's on her way to identify the body.

I'll check CCTV footage from her missing car. Keep you updated.

The coffee found at Samantha's campsite. I think you can get it at the Rock and

Roast. Might be worth speaking with Ryan and see if he remembers who bought it.

Okay. I want the whereabouts of Dave ASAP.

Jodi, Nora, let's track down that husband.

Tyson, look through that CCTV footage.

And Meeks, follow up on that coroner's report.

Copy. Copy.

Larson, I need a minute before you go.

Took a look at your proposal for the canine training.

I checked blue chip.

Nothing came up on the vet scanner, which I was told was unusual.

I've been in contact with shelters.

The standard waiting period is 10 to 14 days for him to be claimed.

And after that, lose mine.

Well, the canine training unit wants assurances that an owner isn't going to

show up and claim him.

So, if he's cleared, I'll approve the training.

Copy that.

Thank you.

What do you got, Tyson?

I was able to track down Dave's car. Well, sort of.

I followed the car on CCTV through town, but lost track of it heading east on

1st. Any idea of the current whereabouts?

No, but it looks like he was heading towards the hotel district.

Thanks, Tyson.

Tyson tracked down Dave's car, and he may be staying in town.

Well, you know the best place to start.

What's that, Jen? What's that, Jen?

Come on, baby.

What kind of trouble you got yourself into this time?

I can explain.

Excuse me, Counselor. Ryan, this is the third time you've been caught in a

restricted area.

I realize where Spring Pines is closed, but it has the best climbs, and I'm not

exactly a novice. It closed off for a reason.

It doesn't matter how experienced you are. Only rangers and officers are

there. The only thing you're actively doing right now is search and rescue.

And it's not a good look when Arsara's breaking the rules.

You here for him?

Yes. He called as soon as he was brought in. Look, Superintendent, it won't

happen again.

It better not.

Because if you want any chance of getting into our detective unit when

an opening, I can't have this behavior.

Understood.

Enjoy your stay.

Hey, Dora. Madge.

Jodi. I heard you were back.

Oh, my.

And you haven't come to see me yet.

Sorry, Madge. I've just been settling in. Of course. What can I do for you?

His name's Dave Eaton. We're looking for him.

You know I pride myself on my discretion, right?

I know, but...

Okay, he checked in early this morning.

No reservation, just walked right in.

We need to talk to him.

Oh, well, he was in room 8.

Was? Yeah, he checked out, like, minutes ago. Did he leave yet?

Um... Doesn't look that way.

Blue, down.

Excuse me, sir. Are you Dave Eaton?

Yeah.

We're with the NPS. We've been looking for you.

It's about your wife.

Thanks for having my back.

The ranger who brought me in is new. He didn't know.

Brian, trespassing multiple times?

What's going on? You know, give me that stuff about great Climsy, fertilizer

king.

You can tell me.

I've been looking into whispering pines.

Why?

I was there that day when your wife had her accident.

I know.

So why were you there today?

Something never sat right with me.

Look, just give me some time and I promise I'll explain everything.

Okay.

Well, whatever this is, don't say anything to Jody.

Of course.

Thanks for being here for me.

What do we have so far?

Davy didn't left the park at 3 .50 a .m. in his vehicle this morning. He stayed

at the inn last night.

Alone? Yes.

That's a strange thing to do.

Strange, but it's not a crime.

Jody, talk to him.

See if we can learn.

Copy that.

I understand.

We just want to know what happened to your wife.

I don't know what happened.

Where was she?

She was just off a trail, actually.

Let's start at the beginning.

was yesterday.

When? What time?

I'm not sure.

I left the campsite, checked in to a hotel in the middle of the night. Was

the last time you saw Samantha?

Yeah.

Why'd you leave?

We got into a fight.

It was nothing. It was stupid.

She thought I was flirting with some girl while we were in town.

It was ridiculous.

All I did was say hi to one of her fans.

She was always jealous of anybody I talked to. This was the one thing about

I could never understand.

That night I just didn't want to hear it anymore.

I just loved her.

I just wanted some space.

I was going to come back today.

What's going on?

Heard you came by the shop looking for a receipt.

Yeah, you weren't there.

Yeah, sorry, I was busy.

But I was told you were looking for information on Samantha Eaton.

You know her?

Not personally, but one of my baristas follows her, says she's making a

So anyway, I looked through the receipts.

And? And I didn't find any purchases from Samantha Eaton, but I did find a

purchase from Dave Eaton a few days ago.

Two mugs and a bag of Right Spot coffee.

Thanks so much. This is great.

You're welcome.

Hopefully it helped.

Oh, another thing. I checked out a couple of Samantha's videos.

Some pretty hateful comments on there.

It's Ryan Miller playing a detective.

I'm just saying it's something to look into.

Thanks. I will.

You got something?

Catch you later?

Boyfriend? Please.

He was just playing detective.

Well, he was in ISV training.

He was?

Yeah, graduated and everything.

Fast -tracked to join the team.

You got the job instead.

You didn't know that?

Anyway, coroner's report came in.

I'm Officer Esposito. We spoke on the phone earlier. If you just want to...

so

sorry

about your sister.

Tell me what happened to her.

The coroner's report confirmed that she passed due to anaphylactic shock.

You didn't know of your sister's allergen? Of course I do.

We both do. She's highly allergic to peanuts.

It appears she accidentally ingested some.

No, she reads the label on everything.

She has an EpiPen.

Does she always carry it with her? Of course.

She doesn't go anywhere without one.

There was no EpiPen found at the scene.

It doesn't make any sense.

We're going to ask you two to stick around for a bit, if that's okay.

You just want to follow me this way.

You visit the scene.

Copy that.

I'll widen the scope of the search. Make sure we didn't miss the EpiPen.

Agreed. Take more with you.

Copy.

All right, come on, buddy.

Hey, buddy.

Okay, search.

You think Blue can find the EpiPen?

That's worth a shot.

Yeah, a needle in a haystack.

You sure it wasn't at her tent?

Correct.

Maybe we're looking in the wrong place.

Well, one of the first effects of anaphylactic shock is becoming

it's possible that Samantha headed in the wrong direction without realizing

Maybe in her disorientation, she thought she was headed back to camp, when

actually she hiked down here, where the body was found.

We've been looking in the direct vicinity of Samantha's body, when maybe

should be looking up ahead on the trail where she was more likely to have used

the EpiPen.

Come on, buddy.

I looked into the whole hater thing.

Some of those comments are cruel.

Yeah, social media's a dumpster fire.

Agreed. But I did some digging.

Turns out one of these haters happens to be staying at the park right now. Not

only that, but Samantha has a restraining order against him.

Okay.

Maybe not so much a hater, but more of a stalker.

He's at Timberwood Campground. Named Dustin Stokes.

Tyson, you amaze me.

That's what my mother says.

Yeah, well, she's not wrong.

Samantha Eaton's body was found a 25 -minute walk from her campsite.

it takes about 5 to 15 minutes to go into anaphylactic shock after ingesting

something. Let's say she used her EpiPen 7 to 9 minutes into the hike. Right,

but this all just depends on when she ingested those peanuts.

Good boy, Blue.

What?

Bernard, copy?

You got me?

Do you have the coroner's report handy?

Pulling up the digital file now.

Is there mention of a potential puncture wound from an EpiPen?

There was a small wound on Samantha's side caused by a needle. Says it could

have been an EpiPen.

So she did use it.

What about the epinephrine?

Looking... weird.

Let me guess. No epinephrine found in her system.

Correct.

Thanks, Tyson.

Mr. Stokes, NPS police.

Dustin Stokes?

I didn't do anything!

Then why?

Are you running?

I've done some silks in custody.

Dude decided to hike it.

Seriously. I didn't stretch this morning.

Are you not coming in?

I'm going to pay Dave and Carrie a visit. Would you mind watching Blue for

minute? Of course.

Okay, I'll get this EpiPen into analysis.

Come on, Blue.

He knows the way.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I hate you for not responding to me.

This is how you treat fans.

You're going to learn the hard way.

You're an awful person.

Bad things happen to bad people.

These are all comments you left on Samantha Eaton's social media.

Sure, I mean, I said some mean things, but I just wanted her to talk to me.

Look, I knew she was going to be here.

She didn't make that a secret. She posts everything.

I've followed her for a long time, and I thought that... I just thought we'd get

along is all.

Well, this morning she died.

She's dead?

That's right.

Not far from where you're staying.

She died in Buckington?

Where?

Bernard?

Put the tape on.

Dustin Stokes wasn't even in the park when Samantha died. He was at some

festival in Buckington.

Ooh, I love that festival.

Didn't need to know that. But he does have photos which are time -stamped and

names of people who can verify his whereabouts.

Copy. On it.

So nobody at the campground saw her when she had her reaction?

We're still doing her digging, but we did find Samantha's EpiPen.

So she did have it.

It appears so.

Has she been using it long?

Yeah, since she was a kid.

Have either of you ever needed to use an EpiPen?

I never have.

I have once when we were younger, but not since then.

Thank you both for sticking around.

We'll have some more information for you soon.

Officer Larson!

I'm sorry to run after you like this.

Okay.

What can I do for you?

So, that'd be a pen.

Did Samantha just not use it?

We don't know everything yet.

We'll have more information for you soon.

What is it?

You can speak freely. I'm here to help.

She knows how to use the EpiPen.

She had one on her.

What happened?

Hey.

Rest assured, we're looking into all possibilities.

Hey, Tyson, can you get me the contents of Samantha's stomach and anything from

the campsite that reads as out of the ordinary?

Way ahead of you on that one, detective.

Folks was a bust.

He's getting booked for misdemeanor, but as far as Samantha goes, he'll abide

out.

Tyson had the grinder and the coffee beans checked by the lab.

Both had traces of peanut residue.

It could be cross -contamination from anywhere.

I knew you were smart.

While we were waiting for the report, I spoke with Ryan.

Bright Spot Coffee is his brand. They roasted in -house, and he made it clear

that they are a nut -free establishment.

Of course they are.

He even has an AFCP certificate to verify.

AFCP? Allergen -Free Certificate Program.

There is no way that peanuts were mixed in with these beans.

Samantha Eaton died of anaphylactic shock.

But it wasn't an accident.

She was alone the morning she died, and it's clear that she would never

intentionally ingest peanuts.

So that means someone put ground peanuts into her beans, so when she made her

morning coffee... Are we saying what I think we're saying?

This was murder.

Good find, military.

Tyson, where are we with the fingerprints?

Checked.

Only Samantha Eaton's fingerprints were found on the EpiPen.

Well, we have two persons of interest.

Let's bring them both in for questioning, and let's not share any of

them. See what we can shake out. I'll take point with Dave. Nori, you take

carry. Copy.

I'll head back to the campsite, see if anyone heard or seen anything.

Let's get to it.

Right? Nothing yet.

I'll keep asking around and report back what I find.

Thanks for coming back in.

Just a couple of things I want to go over with you, if that's okay?

Yeah, of course.

I want to help.

Did you ever handle Samantha's EpiPen?

No. I was the person that would pick up her prescriptions, but that's about as

close to it as I'd get.

Is there anyone or anything that you can think of who might want to hurt your

sister?

No. I mean...

Everyone loves Samantha.

She just lights up a room.

No rivals, no enemies that you can think of.

She's just a travel vlogger.

She's the nicest person in the world.

What?

It's our job to explore all possibilities.

We have to go down every road if something doesn't add up.

I get it.

And I want that too.

Yeah, they were staying over there.

So you saw them?

Yeah. I never talked to them.

Anything stand out to you about them?

Only thing that jumps out is some argument they had.

Marriage related maybe?

You remember what they were arguing about?

I definitely heard him say something about money.

Tell

me

about your marriage.

Are you guys happy?

Of course.

Was there anything that Dave and Samantha fought about that you know of?

Maybe money -related?

Um, I know Samantha wanted him to sign a post -nup.

Dave didn't make as much.

But, you know, you never know how things will end.

Any stresses about money?

No.

Samantha was making millions of dollars on her brand deals.

Why do you think the post -nup was so important?

I think she just wanted to ensure that I saw a good portion of her money in case

something happened.

I know Dave didn't want to sign the post -nup.

I couldn't care less either way I told her that.

Why didn't you tell me about the post -op?

How do you know about that?

Okay, ask me about the post -op.

Why didn't you sign it?

I did sign it.

Did we miss last call?

Just in time. Hi, Blue.

I know what you want.

Okay.

And for you?

Something strong.

Case not going well?

Lots of question marks.

President of the Mystery Book Club, not a fan of question marks?

Embarrassing that you remember that.

Hard to forget.

And weren't you also the only member?

Yes, I was the only member.

Hey, anything come from that hater angle?

It looked promising for a minute, but no, nothing.

It was a good instinct, though.

Hey, why didn't you tell me that you put in for ISB?

I don't know. It was a while back.

That's why I joined Star.

And when there was an opening, I heard that you got the job.

So, yeah.

I'll put it in again when the time's right.

Brian Miller, a cop.

Still can't wrap my head around it.

I missed it.

Guess I got the edge when he got back.

So I applied.

Strange. You just were never really one to follow rules.

Well, people change.

Good luck with the case.

Thanks.

Going to need it.

Hey, buddy.

I know you want to play. I'll play later, okay?

I wanted to take a moment to talk about something important.

This is an EpiPen.

And even if you don't need one, it's important to know how to use it, just in

case someone near you finds themselves needing help.

It could be the difference between life and death.

Oh, here we go.

Now it's time to get cooking. Or should I say baking?

So first off, you're really going to get all your ingredients. So we have our

milk, our brown sugar, our flour, our eggs, and our measuring cups, our bowls,

and of course, our peanuts. So I like to grind my peanuts up in this little

grinder that I have.

So you're just going to open it.

Have your spoon.

And then just pour some of it in there.

Put this bit on.

And then grind.

Takes a little bit.

This is Tyson.

I think I know who killed Samantha Eaton.

I won't take up too much more of your night.

You didn't feel you needed a lawyer.

No.

I have nothing to hide.

You work a lot with your sister, don't you?

Must be tough to be your sister's partner, but have her be the only one in

limelight.

I mean...

I do all of the important work.

A lot of the editing.

Plus, I get to do some of my own videos.

You do the great work.

I mean, it's a good partnership.

Was a good arrangement.

But she takes most of the money.

You're an employee, pretty much.

I didn't do it.

That's what you're asking.

I'm not asking anything other than if it was tough to always come second to your

sister.

We were more than sisters.

I was her right hand, Kay. She needed me. Nothing happens without me.

That's not being second, Kay. I'm important.

Why did you poison your sister?

I would never. I couldn't.

I was supposed to use her EpiPen. I mean, why didn't she use it?

I got a full confession.

Carrie Bristle is responsible for putting peanuts in Samantha's coffee.

And she said she did it alone.

Carrie murdered her own sister?

Unintentionally, but yeah.

We need to get Dave Eaton back in here to tell him the news.

one more question.

I wanted to inform you that Carrie confessed to putting ground peanuts in

Samantha's coffee grinder.

She wanted Samantha to have an allergic reaction.

Why would she do that?

Because she was jealous.

And she wanted to ruin Samantha's brand deal.

Thanks for telling me that.

But she also wanted Samantha to use her EpiPen.

She planned for the allergic reaction, not death.

So that means that somebody tampered with Samantha's EpiPen.

Somebody who knew Carrie's plan.

We dusted for fingerprints.

I packed Samantha's EpiPen, so if you found my fingerprints... We didn't.

Not on the outside.

Only Samantha's fingerprints were found on the outside.

Yours were found on the inside.

You knew Carrie's plan because she just admitted to me that she told you about

it. That's not true.

Yes, it is.

She said you laughed it off, but you really didn't. You wanted to kill your

wife. You removed the medicine from her EpiPen, making Carrie the murderer if

anyone suspected foul play.

You saw an opportunity, and you took it. And do you want to know why?

Because of the money.

I want a lawyer.

You're going to need one.

Because you were under arrest for the murder of your wife, Samantha Eaton.

How'd you figure it out?

Carrie was jealous of Samantha's success.

She was tired of being in the shadow.

Carrie put peanut grounds into Samantha's coffee grinder, knowing that

would brew fresh coffee that morning.

Unbeknownst to Samantha, she ingested peanuts.

Carrie thought Samantha would use her EpiPen, sabotaging her brand deal, but

saving her life.

And Samantha did use the EpiPen. But what Carrie didn't know is that Dave had

tampered with it.

He emptied the epinephrine. He wanted Samantha dead.

And as for Dave, he picked a fight so he could leave before she made coffee with

Carrie's grinder.

I found his fingerprints on the inside of the EpiPen.

Yeah.

He found the post -map.

Tyson. Jody asked me to look into Dave's finances.

He was embezzling money from his wife for quite a while.

A lot.

To the point that Samantha hired an attorney.

Their post -nup called for Dave to get half of Samantha's money, as long as

were still married.

And nothing if they got divorced.

Carrie put the peanut grounds into the grinder, and with one slight adjustment,

Dave could have it all.

And Carrie would be none the wiser and take the fall.

Carrie's tears for her sister were real.

It was an accident.

She's not a killer.

Not one who meant to do it.

Nice job, military.

Long day.

You headed out?

Unless you need anything.

You're free to go.

Nice work today.

Between your instincts and that dog's nose, we have a pretty good team.

An orthodox, maybe.

But a team that shows results.

Get some rest.

Tomorrow we do it all over again.

Yes, ma 'am.

Good night.

Are you stalking me?

Yes, Ryan.

It's your irresistible charm.

You could have just said no.

You solved those question marks?

We did.

It was a tough one, but we got there.

So listen, about Whispering Pines... You never turn off, do you?

It's something I'm working on. Come on, buddy.

So I found out this evening at work that you got hit with a trespassing charge.

Again.

Is this an investigation?

No. This is my curiosity.

What can I say?

Can't stay away from those clients.

Well, King is no nonsense.

If you want to make it to ISB, you've got to lead by example.

I hear you.

See you tomorrow?

Come on, buddy.

Thanks for all the dog toys.

Blue loves them.

I thought Blue could use a few things.

Can I ask you something?

How do you turn it off at the end of the day?

I just can't seem to.

Well, the only thing that could ever take me away from work was coming home

you and your mother.

I think you've got to have some kind of anchor, otherwise you just float away.

Yeah, but Dad, you worked all the time.

I guess I should follow my own advice.

Well, at least I know where I get it from.

Hey, I'm up at the cabin. Why don't you come up?

I can't. I have too much work to do.

Sorry, Dad. I'm just getting in another call.

Okay. Well, I'm here if you need.

Talk tomorrow, kiddo.

Hello?

This is Colonel James Andrews. Is this Jody Larson I'm speaking to?

This is Jody.

I realize it's late. A buddy of mine saw a social media post for a lost dog.

Yes.

Blue. I found him recently.

Blue? This is what I've been calling him.

Blue.

I like it.

Well, yes, I believe he is mine.

Prior to being mine, though, he was property of the United States Army.
