Death Walker 3.4 "High School of the Dead"

To understand the haunting plaguing this location of Defiance Junior High School and to reveal reasons why.  This building was named after Fort Defiance and constructed in 1794 by General Anthony Wayne as a defence against British soldiers.   He ordered troops to destroy Native American villages and other surrounding towns were flooded in 1913.  The High School building was demolished and the building of today built in 1918.  1891 saw a janitor , John Moll murdered in mysterious circumstances after he reported the Principal CW Butler in a compromising position with a teacher.  After the claims he was hiding at a friend's house.  Yet his body was found on the tracks.  His legs were nearly severed and throat slit as well as being stabbed twice in the chest.  His death was declared a suicide.  He was murdered and this was stated by many, including friends, family and the coroner.  Students have talked about the paranormal activity whilst at school.  Being watched, voices are heard and shadow figures.  As well as full bodied apparitions during the classes.  Could be John's anger towards the town and maybe he is lashing out.  

Talking to former students who had experiences.  After gym class and he went back to the locker room and felt cold chills.  He felt he was being stared at.  People have seen lights in the windows and had feelings in the basement.  Another one was in gym class and she heard voices.  She saw a woman in the hallway walking back and forth.  All their experiences were mostly during gym class or in the gym.  In the school band and went to put his instrument away and a music stand fell.  Austin Maynard, a paranormal investigator looked into the location and history.  A murder, a suicide and football players dying on the field.  They wanted to clean the building and they've seen shadow figures.  Three girls went to the third floor and were chased out.  He's seen apparitions in the gym and an entity called 'The Principal'.  He controls the building.  As well as arson being involved.  A crawl space in the basement was where John lived.  

Nick uses the Tesla coil on the third floor.  He uses the #X10 device.  He wants the spirits to use the energy to manifest.  A voice is heard, I heard a "ooh ooh."  Which was rather noisy.  But a lot of voices came through.  "Stay together."  Nick feels dizzy by the stairs.  Austin stating people felt sick.  A banging sound is heard and Nick says it was a locker.  But they're locked.  Could be residual or actually happened.  He thinks whatever made the sound ran down to the second floor.  Did somebody die here? "Yes."  Nick hears a whisper behind him.  He has goosebumps through his body.  I also hear "Nick" here.  "It was me" when he asks if he was standing there.  "John" I didn't hear that.  "Man."  "Dead."  A scream comes through.  

Boiler room in the basement and his crawl space.  Also the subject of a Destination Fear ep.  Nick feels goosebumps again.  Footsteps can be heard.  So he's been haunting this school for what over 200 years.  A loud bang is heard again.  Nick climbs into his crawl space and the energy gets stronger.  Footsteps are heard again and a noise in the crawl space itself.  Nick says someone's walking behind Justin who steps onto the ladder.  Nick felt the negative presence surrounding him.  Another noise is heard and Nick says it was something hitting a pipe and walking again.  Nick uses an experiment to find who the spirits are using a laser and turns on the device so a static sound will be stopped if something comes into the laser.  Devised by KD Stafford and Austin.  Nick sees a face move in front of him.  

"See him"??  "Was that you?"  "Yeah."  "Shock."  The laser breaks and the noise stops.  The light flashed or seems to.  "You did that."  A whistling sound is heard.  "Behind him...is there a problem?"  "By you."  "See a fire, man or fireman"?? "Huge fire."  "He died."  Nick felt sick and threw him off balance.  He thinks there's a dark, lingering presence and connecting with their energies.  He goes to the part near the other locker room.  Using another experiment with the laser and the ITC experiment to document who The Principal is.  In the locker room light frequencies energy move with him follow him.   He wants John to follow him or anyone else.  He wants John to move through the smoke and light and take his hand.  He feels weird in the space.  He hears a voice come through, didn't hear it.  Another banging is heard was there a shadow on the left?? when the camera shows the view by the wall.

He uses another experiment using the Ghost Helmet.  To try and see what can connect with his energy.  He hears talking.  "Nick" is heard.  "Violence."  "Ghost."  Did "Frank" come through?  "Necessary."  His is drained and feels like he crossed into another realm and allowed him to spiritually connect to the other side.  He heads to the gym to see if he can connect with the shadow figure.  "Problem...issue...send a message...can't do it...suicide stuff...suicide..."  Downstairs to where the dark energy is lingering and tries to make contact before sunrise.  "Dead...yes...find him??"  New insight into this place.  Nick says John remains and hopes his voice can be heard from beyond.  A fire, lost soul, still need help.  He feels emotions lingering and he questions what the negative energy is and he shows Austin and will return to the school hoping to solve the negative presence.  Energy of the past becomes restless, so communication is important to remain in a positive environment.  This journey is important to him to uncover more evidence of what happens after death and in the afterlife.  

Death Walker 3.3 "Hospital on the Haunted Hill"

In the City of Williamson, flows the Tug River in the southern region of West Virginia.  The blood feud between the Hatfield's and the McCoy's who between them suffered 13 deaths til 1891.  It wasn't until 2003 when they both signed a truce officially ending the feud. The original hospital was destroyed by a fire.  The four story hospital served the Tug Valley area for 60 years.  The ER was in the basement. In winter 1956 a passenger train was derailed and all 23 injured were at the hospital.  In July 1962, Moses Blackburn argued with his wife and he shot the policeman at the scene in the head.  The other officers captured and took him to the hospital to treat the gunshot wound in his arm.  Blackburn leapt out of the window but he didn't die then.  It was said he was plagued by nightmares of someone after him.  He died later by drowning in his own fluids.  Closed in 1988.  Was used as offices and storage.  Tanya Webb purchased as co-owner.  People mentioned hearing disembodied voices and apparitions.

A nurse who worked and died here and is seen by employees and construction workers.  A floating nurse is seen in the basement area.  The PD has responded to calls.  People report lights turning on and off and seeing shadow figures.  A tour guide became ill in 2018 in the room.  Nick's investigation takes place on 3rd March 2022 the 90th anniversary of when it was opened.  Tanya was born in the hospital in 1973 and lost two grandparents here she never met.  The Mayor - a Hatfield - spoke of everything being installed new.  He was born here too.  Some people visiting are drawn to the third floor and she feels the presence of children.  Thousands of deaths during its time as a hospital.  From shadow figures, hearing voices, legs touched and piano music playing.  

Nick feels someone touch him on his back and felt he bumped into someone.  The Mayor lost an uncle here and the hospital is a landmark and a benchmark too.  A full bodied apparition was seen on the fourth floor.  As well as intelligent spirits being here.  The basement is where they heard doors closing and feel a presence.  "The nurse that never clocked out" and has spoken with patients.  Tanya felt drawn here in the hopes of meeting her grandparents she never met.  She wants answers for this.  Her maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother, Sally Webb and why she has a connection to this place.  

Nick asks if they know who Tanya is?  I heard "Sally" come through.  "Thank you."  "I met them...free..."  "Killed" comes through and "evil" after Nick asks what happened when they came to the hospital.  Did the kill have anything to do with the gunman??  "It says "Thomas" and then "Sally comes through."  "Tired...patient..." "patient" sounded like "beaten."  Nick talks of the cycle of life again in the hospital.  He's intrigued with communicating with spirits from the unknown.  He talks of the stories where people have cut off limbs of patients and thrown them in the incinerator room and he has a creepy feeling there.  Why do that?  Just to get rid of them?  He uses the thermal.  He feels pressure and gets a headache.  He feels the intensity and emotions of the people who came through the ER.  "Can you see me" I hear.  "It hurts...yes" when he asks if they know they're dead.  "Sally" comes through again.  

"Yeah" after asking if they can give him a message from the other side.  "He pushed me" after he asks about the man jumping out of the window.  Claims were made Blackburn saw something after him or he was pushed.  "Evil" comes through again.  So does "ancient."  Nick mentions the importance of investigating the hospital during the day as it was in operation 24 hours.  He feels the energy in the area during the day.  "Break" comes through.  He asks if Sally's energy is here now and whether that happens after you pass.  He wants answers from the other side.  "Enter...yeah" is a doctor here.  "Nick's here."  "Dave"?? when Nick asks what his name is.  Are these your files?  "Maybe."  

He uses the motion sensor which plays music when moved and uses lasers.  The upper floors of the hospital something triggered the device and a dark figure is seen in the lasers.  He has more questions than answers.  Many people entered with emotions and thousands died and the energy still lingers.  Nick asks if human consciousness after death still have the energy to manifest into the reality they are living in.  He thanks them for letting him investigate.  For the children, the happiness, sadness and the iconic place for the town to remember.  Everything that took to keep the hospital running.  Tanya is emotional after hearing her name and her grandmother was in the hospital for a week before she passed.  An emotional episode especially for Tanya.

Death Walker 3.2 "Haunted Western Block"

Once the Western Block Company in Rockport, New York, one of the last stops along the Eerie canal. Formerly housed the Western Block Company, the largest manufacturer of block and tackle used in shipping et all.  Also made equipment for the military during World War II.  The men who built Eerie Canal were mostly Irish and it was dangerous work blasting rock.  The canal was completed in 1825. Was constructed for people and goods transport and there was rampant disease due to the canal, such as cholera and many workers lost lives due to disease, being drowned or buried under rubble or from dangerous use of dynamite.  Dead workers could be haunting the facility due to construction and development in the area.  Former workers can be seen and the hotel burned down in 1841 as well as having a fire and police department.  They used the tunnels under the property for transporting alcohol under prohibition.  Frank caught an unexplained shadow woman in a room, whether the figures are spirits of workers or others haunting for various reasons.  The owner talks of different companies on site.

Over an 100 estimated deaths.  Little Italy was on the other side and had the Mafia connections and she took over the property in August 2015.  An arts and cultural centre.  Tenants speak of weird events taking place.  Fire in the back of the building and other fires and people have been injured and died.  They used to use child labour with them falling into machinery and dying.  The Eerie canal used children where they would put dynamite in the stone as they thought they could get away faster than adults, which wasn't the case.  Frank investigated in 2020 and got many shadows, hear noises, footsteps.  A shadow in the classroom caught on security camera and Frank saw it looking through the doorway.  A woman in dark period dress.  probably Mary, one of the Director's sister's.  He was standing in front of a window and he was shoved into the window and broke the window with his backside.  Entities have also been channelled and went through them. A member of the group was giving the history on the place and was taken over and then started laughing at him.  Investigate putting the stories together.

Nick begins in the classroom with the figure of the woman.  He uses Andy's Box to capture voices.  Akin to the Geobox, but it's much clearer as there's no static.  He asks to be connected with the energy and wants the shadow figure to manifest.  In 200 years he mentions the residual energy being set free and that's what people are probably seeing.  He asks if it can hear his voice and a voice comes through "Yeah...okay."  "This" when he asks where it is?  "I should be able" I hear after he asks if he can connect with his body using his energy and "yes."  "Look at me...run"  "Yeah" when he asks if he heard it?  I heard a banging sound also somewhere.  "She's dead...right..."  

Something is thrown and they move and he then reviews it and he sees a hand by his side.  The static camera shows a transparent-like arm reaching out behind him.  He calls it "alien-like and the hand more spirit like."  When he says "Holy shit" and goes towards the sound was he being saved from the hand grabbing him, in my opinion, or was it trying to distract him.  It's such a mystery.  I kind of think it was the former ie saving him possibly from its touch.  Then if it did touch him then who knows what that could have led to, maybe he wasn't meant to find out or not right now, at least.  

The second pic is my own filter.

"She doesn't like that..." He sees a shadow.  "She said thrown...sixty thrown..." what's sixty??  He asks if their energy was used to pick the object and throw it.  He wants to experience that altered state of consciousness humans can feel, the emotions or a form of energy beyond their reality and they can hear him as they are responding, coming through.  

Hey Nick doesn't spend the night here alone now, is that not happening this season then.  He asks if someone's standing here?  A woman speaks, can hear her vocal tone.  Nick feels pushed from behind.  There appears to be some shadow under the phone and then some sort of an orb fly under it.  "Frank" comes through.  "Fire...water" comes through which Nick says scared him.  He felt a jolt go through his body.  Another noise is heard.  They were sent through a 360 circle in the older side of the building.  He can still feel the energy from the spirits.

Video to specialist to analyze.  He looked at the two angles and there's nothing in one shot, the one Justin was filming and then it was in the static camera capture.  They film in 4k did that have something to do with it.  The analyst took the same moment in time and put it side by side and it resembles something that Nick could've held with his hand.  He works in post production and he teaches "everything we see is just reflective light."  He sees there's a colour difference in the hand "specular reflection of light."  Or could be a different colour.  The lit up areas stay the same as it moved through the space.  A different material, might be it reflects light or could be a different colour thus reflecting light differently.  Sharpening is added to one corner and it can be seen even more clearer.  

He used green cos the human eyes see more green and used in night vision.  It can be seen clearer and there's a light reflecting in one area only.  He thought it could be hair but it would've flicked away but the shot is stable and mounted on a tripod.  Hair wouldn't have two points of light.  Not hair, not a reflection, not a bug.  Nick sees a shadow on the pillar behind the hand.   Nick's shadow is on the ground and the hand's shadow corresponds to his.  It's not dust as it doesn't cast a shadow.  Nick wonders why one camera captures it and not on the other.  He can't figure it out as they're similar cameras.  Maybe they weren't supposed to capture it at all.  Especially with that noise distraction.  It's not a camera glitch.  As Nick says he wouldn't have known about the arm if that object sound wasn't heard.  See distraction or causing him to investigate further.  

Nick doesn't know if it's residual, intelligence or something coming through from another reality and this is the best evidence he has ever captured.  Having movement.  He thinks it's reaching in and pulling back out.  With different texture and quality on the hand bits.  Nick says this proves something that validates his investigation and he can take it further.  More questions and want to learn what he captured.  He contacts Tim who has been doing UFO and paranormal investigation for more than 20 years with his father.  He says it's something he can't explain.  It looks like an alien arm with three fingers.  People have told him what they've been through and is it going to happen again.  They see long arms, big heads, thin bodies.  Looks similar to the hand he captured.  

Nick hasn't seen anything like this and had to take it to experts.  Something breaking into their reality, an inter-dimensional being.  Kind of reminds me of that transparent, naked figure captured in Ghost Stalkers at the Old Taylor Memorial Hospital. 

Death Walker 3.1 "Entity House New York"

This episode filmed at a family home in Cattaraugus County, New York, where homeowner Daniela encounters supernatural forces in the home during the night and day.  She carried out research to see why her home was so active. She found a paratrooper in the US Army lived and died in the house in the 1980's.  He was said to be a good man.  There wasn't anything bad about him.  Nick says ghost haunt a location for their own reasons such as murders remaining unsolved, violent deaths etc.  He thinks the entity might be demanding something from her or it's something that isn't human or has manifested into something else overtime.  Or following them home and being attached to someone in the home.  This entity has also gone after the man after he began renovating the upstairs of the house.  Nick wants to see if he can document and make contact with what is there and why her childrens' dreams are being invaded.  He asked paranormal researcher and author Mason Winfield to examine the land around the property.  With help from Melanie and Daniel Klaes watching the monitors.  

Daniela says the activity began when there was heavy equipment on the property and removed small trees and brush.  She had nightmares and vivid dreams, as did her children.  They see a well dressed man.  Doors are open, they hear music and people going up and down the stairs.  She believes it's an old property owner.  She has done research and nothing much is revealed.  She feels lightheaded and the spirits cause exhaustion when they appear.  

Mason says the land wasn't surrounded by the glaciers, the site is mysterious.  There's plenty of folklore in the county but around the property there's nothing and no one wants to talk.  They're in a legendary zone and no one knows about the things in the woods.  Geomancer Linda Ellson, a Feng Sui expert mentioned  "Predecessor energy" at the site that could be manifesting.  Also there's a 100 foot well near the property and the house could be on a "void line."  The house is on a straight line between two cemeteries.  Something could've happened here but they can't say what for sure.  Mason wonders if someone has an enemy and they cut to the man of the house and he came face to face with an old man.  He doesn't like being there and he has heard, seen and felt things there that he doesn't like and isn't normal to him.  He's being watched.  The audio on the boom mic goes awry and they haven't had that going on before.  Nick finds it hard to breath and they leave the room.

When Nick is speaking with Phillip inside and the camera goes haywire and he feels a pain coming into his chest area.  Also Nick grabs the SLS sorry it's not what he called it and that figure was on the stairs, showing something was around.  He should've used that outside too or a thermal imaging camera.  There were plenty of orbs/light anomalies coming through the house clearly seen.  (I know you're not meant to put too much weight on them in this show, but they could be seen.)

The same noises were heard in the basement and also in the usual coming through on the Geoport of "sin" when Nick asks "who are you?"  That was heard three times in all three places.  As well as Nick's name coming up and also Justin's when they were in the basement.  I didn't see that head pop out in the corner of the basement or was it a different camera angle, would've been good if they actually reviewed and showed it.  Wanted to see that or wasn't it captured on camera.  As well as "who is she" coming up. 

There was a lot of voices coming through and unfortunately for some reason whilst I was recording it cut out after 15 minutes and I didn't even know!  Thanks whoever 'Sin' you were or whatever dark entity that was since there was stuff I wanted to listen to again and no I don't have Discovery either.  Outside much the same was coming through with Nick's name again and there was something about getting hurt in an accident.  Getting hurt also came through inside.  Then everything went quiet and no sounds could be heard, that was eerie and creepy too.  A silence all over the land as though something was around and everything just stood silent in its tracks.

The offering at the end by the Native American elder with the tobacco saying that the ancestors were content with the land and how life was being lived there.  Nick said she should live there as it's her house now and there was no definite answer to what was actually causing the hauntings.

Strike "Troubled Blood" Episode 4

Strike (Tom Burke) finds that Margot saw Steve for six weeks and Robin (Holiday Grainger) says that DI Talbot found Steve was associated with the death of a married woman, named Joanne.  She died from swallowing industrial weed killer but as she had marks around her neck, someone could have forced her to drink it.  DI George wonders why her death was ruled a suicide and Robin can only answer it was due to her being abused by her husband.  Strike believes Steve was associated with Julie's death too.  Steve Douthwaite changed his name to Steve Jacks after Margot went missing.  Robin adds the workers at Dr Gupta's office thought Steve sent Margot chocolates as she also tried to hide them from everyone.  Gloria saw them in her office and they weren't opened and wonders if Steve could've tainted them with drugs.  As happens to Strike later on, when he also receives a mysterious box of chocolates for Christmas.  They talk to the staff at the office as Steve was there as a guest so someone invited him.

Janice (Anna Calder-Marshall) says Steve was handsome Everyone thought he killed Joanna and at the party he was drunk.  Irene (Carol Macready) adds Steve was a flirt.  Margot threw the chocolate box in the bin but would later take things out and keep them.  Robin questions Saul (Jonas Armstrong) why he has charged dinners to the firm and he replies Strike rehired him on the case. Carl visited Janice as he's working on a book.  Margot left the children with a nanny and Leda was having an affair.  Robin warns Strike that Carl is setting him up and Strike lashes out at him.  Leda took him to the recording studio at seven, but Rokeby didn't want to see him and called him an "accident."  Pat (Ruth Sheen) drops off some mail to Strike and that's when he eats the chocolate, getting ill in the process.  Saul sends Robin a dick pic and then begs her not to tell Strike.  Who finds Steve under the alias of Steve Diamond.

They run a guest house and Steve's wife, Donna (Tracy Wiles) listens to their conversation with him.  When Carl exposed Steve he was afraid and didn't go on the run until after Julie's death.  Apparently the killer has killed six vics.  Saul grabs Robin as a joke and she has a knife in her hand.  She fires him and Pat adds if she attacked him she'd swear it was self defence.  In Janice's flat, Strike calls Beth who claims to be Athorn's (Dayo Koleosho) social worker.  Janice spikes Strike's tea.  She saw Steve killing Julie and then she held her head under water.  Janice poisoned Irene for fifty years.  Janice even poisoned her own son and he told Margot that his mum's drinks made him ill.  Margot didn't want anyone to eat the poisoned chocolate and he adds how he got sick after eating some too.    She also poisoned Margot's doughnut.  Janice buried Margot in the Samhain's flat in the ottoman/chest used as a table.  Janice suffocated Margot with a pillow.

Janice also sent her daughter a locket so that she would drop her snooping.  Strike informs Anna (Sophie Ward) they solved her mother's murder.  Robin finalizes the divorce with Matthew (Kerr Logan) before Sarah has her baby.  They hug as he was there for her when she needed him.  Strike gives Robin a balloon and buys her perfume.  They hug and she kisses him on the cheek.  Nothing more romantic than this as viewers were hoping for them to get together.  Again that'd be hasty and some of us don't expect this to happen.  Seems it will spoil the dynamic of the show and their character interaction.  Seems this was also stretched out much more than needed to be with some scenes that definitely could have been missed or not included at all. 

Strike "Troubled Blood" Episode 3

Strike (Tom Burke) is told by Brian (Billy Boyle) that Mollie was everything to him and can't believe Dennis Creed (Kenneth Cranham) killed her.  He also suspects that he killed Margot and Kara too.  However Robin (Holliday Grainger) tells him Kara was killed by Ricci.  Brian says no one will know what happened to his daughter, Louise and with Creed in prison there's no way to find out.  Creed was writing his memoirs and a guard at the prison gave him info on Margot.  Brian wrote to Creed and he wrote a letter back, he's into games.  His letter reads in the first sentence of each line: "your daughter cried for her mummy before she died."  Strike would be able to speak with Creed as he's well known and he pays them to see what happened to his daughter.  Robin agrees to help him and offers to work in her spare time without taking his money.  Strike warns her that Creed won't help.  Robin wants to help at least one of them and can't put this behind her.  After everything she's been through of course she won't let it go.

At the pub, Strike shows her evidence of photos Pat (Ruth Sheen) gave him.  Lucy calls him to say his aunt probably won't last til Christmas.  Strike looks through his photos and gets an email invite from Johnny Rokesby.  As Strike feeds a homeless man, Pat tells him she called the council about the curry found outside.  He doesn't tell her and gets Sam (Jack Greenlees) to call Paul.  Robin asks Izzy (Christina Cole) to see of she can see a prisoner at Broadmoor.  Strike is called by Beth who tells him Samhain said Margot was killed by Nico Ricci.  Robin cooks for Max's dinner party and her brother is coming too.  Strike tells Robin of the phone box and she says there was a delivery van that was speeding in the area but kept the driver quiet so as to avoid police.  Creed wasn't in the van.  Also Strike says it didn't fit Creed's MO as he would spike his victim's drinks.  

Strike reviews Ruby's interview from 1975 and she was near the phonebox and saw two women together and she thought they had been drinking by their behaviour.  Robin looks at the article and says it was a woman and her daughter but Strike adds it was the other way round as Fiona was taller.  It could have been Margot and Creed, as Creed would've been shorter than her, but it is unlikely.  Paul agrees to talk with Strike.  Johnny calls Strike and he opens up that he has cancer so time is running out.  Heck not another one dying.  Strike tells him to leave him alone.  Strike drinks and talks about being a soldier and gets into an altercation with Robin's brother's girlfriend, Courtney (Maia Tamrakar).  Robin tries to diffuse the situation, but Johnny begins talking about rape and Strike apologizes to Robin and leaves.  She calls him out on it and he apologizes but it isn't what she wants to hear.  Next morning he's at the office with Lucy.  They both head to Cornwall and run into flooded streets.  Finally making a breakthrough in a boat.

Robin calls and offers sympathy for Joan's passing and Creed will only speak with Strike.  He agrees.  Anna knows her father tried to find Margot and she's run out of money to pay him more.  He agrees to lower his rate.  As Robin meets with Matthew and only wants her parents' deposit back for the house.  As she later meets Brian with Strike, he tells them about Creed.  He was into Aleistair Crowley and he attended satanic rituals with women.  The notebook mentions Schmidt explaining all.  As they play with Tarot cards Robin picks the Lovers card and conceals it from Strike. Strike meets with Creed who thinks men like him are necessary in society and they get onto the subject of Crowley.  Brian tried to get to Creed using star signs.  Strike tells him his doctors don't believe Creed is sane and he talks of poisoning women.  As well as saying his client is Margot's daughter.  Creed wants to return to Belmarsh and write his book.  He admits to killing Louise after he saw her in her uniform and he took her necklace.

Strike doesn't believe Creed killed Margot or Louise and Creed mentions M54 where Louise's body will be found.  Which he and Robin try to work out.  Strike discovers it's a star in the Saggitarius constellation.  Robin thinks Louise could've been at the Archer Hotel and Strike speaks with George Layborn who talks of a skeleton being found.  Strikes recalls Creed mentioning being born under the 13th sign.  Robin informs him of Schmidt finding a 13th sign under the 14th star system.  This means peoples' stars change and Stephen Douthwaite would become Capricorn and the notebook says Capricorn killed Julie B.  She was a holiday rep at Baxton's.  She was found in the pool and Steve worked there but left afterwards.  Robin surmizes he killed Margot and then his girlfriend was found dead.  

Lots of jumping around in this episode with coming up with theories that some prove viable and others don't.  Strike and his moment with the homeless man stands out as does his getting drunk.  It just speaks othois character and fouling things up at the dinner party.  Deeply hurt by Joan's passing as well as Johnny revealing his diagnosis.  Yet he doesn't have anything but coldness towards Johnny.  Trying to keep churning out who really killed Margot to the end!
