Two years before the Alphabet Man’s arrest

DRSHERLOCK: Let’s talk body drop sites

MARPLESASSISTANT: You’re going to talk about Jason Stahl again, aren’t you?

DRSHERLOCK: Why Miss Marple’s assistant, you know me so well. It’s almost like you’re a detective or something

MARPLESASSISTANT: It’s almost like we’re the only two people on at 3 a.m. talking about a stupid serial killer. Alright get on with it

DRSHERLOCK: I’m guessing he’s anything but stupid. He’s gotten away with killing more than a dozen people in the past three years at least. But OK, have you noticed that Jason Stahl’s delivery routes go right by seven of the ten body drop sites we know of? That can’t be coincidence

MARPLESASSISTANT: Circumstantial

DRSHERLOCK: Except that he fits the rest of the profile Kilkenny has given of AM

MARPLESASSISTANT: How did you even find this dude? He’s just a random person and now he’s being accused everywhere of being AM

DRSHERLOCK: He knew one of the victims ...

MARPLESASSISTANT: Circumstantial

DRSHERLOCK: Someone posted a picture of him in the crowd that gathered after a different victim than the one he knew was found ... and don’t say circumstantial again!

MARPLESASSISTANT: As you just said, his delivery routes go by the body drop sites ... if he was there at all, he probably just stopped to see what was going on. Have you ever heard of Richard Jewell?

DRSHERLOCK: The guy who got blamed for the Olympic bombing scare in Atlanta

MARPLESASSISTANT: Yupppppp ... his life was ruined because he was falsely accused. Ruined, my dear Sherlock Holmes. Think about that before accusing someone off coincidental evidence

DRSHERLOCK: His name isn’t actually everywhere, just on sites like this. And it’s three in the fucking morning, Miss Marple. On a true crime discord where we shoot the shit about active crime cases. Who exactly am I hurting?

MARPLESASSISTANT: That’s my point ... you just never know
