Elsbeth had just been assigned to a new case. She called it: The Comic Murderer! Or, that's what she called the person who killed 19 year old, Gabe Colin. According to evidence, Gabe was going to meet up with someone to drop off comics he was selling to them. And was found in the back of the building. The box of comics he had was not recovered.

When Elsbeth went through the phone, she saw a name that kept popping up. So, she made her way down to the nearby neighborhood, and knocked on the person's door. Just to talk, and catch any slip ups the person might say during the small talk session. Elsbeth needed to make them seem as though she didn't think they were guilty, dropping their guard.
