Episode notes

It was 6:00 AM on a corner of Broadway. Detective Danny Clover was called to a car that had been parked there overnight. Detective Muggerman was already on the scene. Muggerman says "She's in here, Danny, this car. There on the floorboard in front". Danny asks "Who is she?" Muggerman says "Well, I don't know. There's no identification, no handbag, just this". Danny says "The car is registered to Edward Bishop, 1110 160th Street. Who found her?" Muggerman says "Officer Kaplan. He tagged it late last night for traffic violation. When he was going off duty he noticed the car still wasn't moved. He opened it, and found her under that blanket. I'd say she was about 27". Danny says "She was shot once in the back, from up close". Muggerman says "Yeah, death was probably instantaneous". Just then, a doctor from the County Coroner's office arrives. Muggerman says "In the front of the car, doc. Hey you're a new doctor aren't you?" Danny says "Don't move her, doctor, wait for the photographers". The young doctor just stands there, looking at the dead woman's body. Muggerman says "You get used to it, kid. It kind of happens a lot".
