Karen Cook:
At seventeen years, Jack Riley killed his mother, then he killed four families, including my own, before he was caught.

Chris Watts:
[looks away uncomfortably] I'm sorry.

Karen Cook:
Because he was underage, he was tried as a juvenile. Some smart-ass psychologist, desperate public defendant conjured up this lame defense that he was not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.

Chris Watts:
How did they come to that?

Karen Cook:
Psychologist entered into evidence a bunch of slasher movies, claiming media saturation prejudiced his right to a fair trial.

Chris Watts:
[in disbelief] Media saturation?

Karen Cook:
The news media started calling him "Basement Jack." Comparing him to any number of movie psychos, he became a schoolyard taunt. [nods at Chris; looks away and grabs envelope] This is some of his handiwork. [gives pictures from envelope to Chris, who takes them intrigued and looks] The jury bought the defense and sent him to some plush psych ward for ten years. He was released almost a year ago. [sighs and takes another document, reading] Severe weather patterns in the spring. Reported here. Also here and here. Five families murdered.

Chris Watts:
[slightly shakes head] So, what, bad weather is his trigger?

Karen Cook:
And me. All these murders occurred in towns where I lived. He's following me. Finishing up a loose end. And then a storm hits and he attacks, so I move.

Chris Watts:
Think he's here?

Karen Cook:
I know he is. Because I followed him here.
