Don’t know where they stashed the body (I got distracted about the time they found it) but what happened was his friend, Carlos, killed him after he got a cochlear implant that his father signed the release forms for. Carlos also got checked out for one but he wasn’t a good candidate since he was born deaf. Carlos whacked him over the head with a metronome while he was playing the piano.

Dang. Well, I guessed that one wrong – I thought it maybe would be the parents.

Thanks for the info – I need to set the DVR to run 20 minutes past the hour since Cold Case so frequently runs late.

**Jess** - In this case you would still have missed the end, because it ran 1/2 hour late. I’ve adjusted my Dexter time.

Thanks **St Germain** – I’ll set it to run 45 minutes late in the future to be on the safe side. Stupid football (or whatever sport it was they were playing that pushed everything back).
