Bannick receives another letter. This time, he calls the police and turns over the envelope, keeping the letters to himself. He tells them he has no specific culprit in mind.

Sheriff Black tells Darren and Lacy that the FBI has lifted a partial print from one of the phones they found in the mail drop. There must have been a tear in the killer’s glove.
