When officers receive two calls about the same murder, its a little weird. The fact that the second call was made only 2 minutes after the first, is strange.

Someone is definitely lying, someone is definitely getting locked up, and Helen is definitely going to say âwho is this b****â to every suspect I mention. Sources for this episode: Forensi...
