Wednesday, February 23, 2005

Amy is suspicious when a woman's second baby dies of SIDS, only a week after another SIDS death in town —and the details are identical. Could this be a copycat case?
Unfortunately the town is busy sympathising with this woman's tragic loss, and they turn against Amy for daring to suggest otherwise.
Jonesy and Susie head off to make a simple arrest for a drive off (driving away without paying for petrol) but find themselves cuffed together and held hostage in an onion packing shed by the offender's over-protective mother.
New Senior Constable Alex Kirby (Charlie Clausen) arrives to save them, but the rescue doesn't go quite as planned.
Chris has a problem guest, an old lady who has checked in, paid by cash, but now won't leave her room —and owes money. She refuses to give her identity, and Kelly is set the task of finding out who she is and where she came from.
Joss has moved out to share with a couple of blokes, and his care packages from his mum are now coming to the station —much to Kelly's derisive amusement.

But when another young woman's body turns up killed in a similar style, they realise they have a serial killer at work.

But this one is a young male schoolteacher, and the masseur is out of the frame on two counts —his unavailability for the crime, and the sex of the victim.

Wednesday, April 20, 2005

The serial killer is still at large in Mt Thomas but examination of the latest murder victim reveals enough dissimilarity to indicate it was not the same killer.

Such is the antagonism now between Garth and Amy that she is more determined than ever that psychologist Bill Lapscott is innocent. But is she right?
PJ witnesses Garth losing his temper with Bill, and when some quiet digging reveals that Garth was also a childhood victim of sexual abuse, PJ puts him on the suspect list against Tom's better judgment. But when Amy learns of Garth's past, she is furious, and angrily confronts him for not telling her this when she told him about her own abuse.
