Just kind of sprawled around like it just dropped there. Yeah. Yelled. Like wasn't on the room, couldn't see too good, didn't know right off, then it went in. Dylan said it would come right then.

Did you go in the room at all? Well, just look at Mr. McNeil. Soon as I saw what happened, I turned around, run the phone, called the cops. I must say, quiet, didn't cause no trouble, didn't drink, pity, he's ran on time.

McCrew from the crime lab arrived and began their investigation of the murder room. The canvas of the area was started in an attempt to find somebody who might have seen the killer. Frank and I went up to room 319.
