Episode 2: Sixty Five Million Years Off
The Case: Shawn finds himself alone out on a limb when he contends that a dead man who washes ashore was killed in a manner that misses the agreed death timeline- by approximately sixty five million years. Shawn contends that it is a bite from a dinosaur. Everyone thinks he has gone off the deep end (to the point of an intervention with a psychologist) until it is determined that the victim was actually a paleontologist.
After a trip to the university turned up nothing, they then go to the victim's house where they find tons of artifacts outside in a shed. There are tools missing, which may have been the murder weapons, which may be in his truck which is also missing.
Shawn notices a basket for a fruit farm that is quite far away, so they go there to investigate. The farmer claims he saw the victim often, usually heading up the hills at night and returning the next morning. They visit the nearby farmland to find an area riddled with holes. The sound of gunshots makes them run for their lives.
Shawn realized that a huge tic-tac-toe grid he found was actually a map of where the victim had been digging on the farmer's property. They dug in the spot marked with an "O" to unearth a huge dinosaur fossil head, which would be worth millions. But why had the farmer refused to sell the land which could have been worth a fortune?
After a call from his dad about remembering an old missing person case (the previous co-owner of the farm), Shawn deduced that the farmer couldn't have allowed the discovery to become public because he had killed the missing person and buried him somewhere on the farm, but he didn't remember where. He had to kill the paleontologist to protect the secret of the first murder.
Gus Nickname: I thought Shawn would give him one when they visited the farmer, but no.
