You knew one of the victims?
Yeah. Scott Jansen.
He was part of a meth distribution crew
run by a guy named Ron Booth.
Okay...
I was under in Booth's crew three years ago.
Busted him for distro.
Do you think Booth's behind this?
It's possible.
He just got out of prison two months ago.
Early parole for good behavior. It's a joke.
So you keep tabs on this guy?
Sort of.
Let's just say I'm not a big fan.
All right. Three white males approach.
Close-quarter shootout. Garcia gets hit,
but he gets a few shots off.
- Hits my boy Scott Jansen. - And then Offender One
leaves in the van.
Offender Two leaves in the sedan.
- And they leave Jansen to die. - Right.
Do you recognize Offender One or Two?
No, I've never seen them before.
They weren't part of Booth's old crew.
We didn't get any hits on facial rec.
Anything on the vehicles?
The sedan had no plates.
Van had tags, but it was registered
to a bogus address in Texas,
so I got a BOLO out on make and model.
All right, we got a rip crew
who knew about a van with liquid meth,
and they knew when and where the deal was going down.
My money's on Booth. He likes doing rips.
"Better margins when the product's free."
He used to say that all the time.
All right, give it a shot.
But let's not spook this guy.

Best way to chase this, Sarge.
Okay. You never testified?
No, we had enough to prosecute
without me needing to blow my cover.
And you're sure this Kelly character
is alive and well in Booth's universe?
As far as Booth knows, Kelly got scared
when the cops busted him and scurried back home to Iowa.
What about this Garrett Thompson?
Copper out of Rosemont you were partnered with.
- What about him? - It says here
you were under as his girlfriend.
Correct.
He got killed during that operation.
There's a note in the GPR that says
rumors were going around that Garrett flipped
and he moved to Mexico?
He was good police. Booth murdered him.
What happened?
They never found his body, so we couldn't make a case,
but it was Booth.
He never liked Garrett,
then one day, Garrett was gone.
Look, once Booth turns the liquid meth into crystal,
he's gonna have a lot of product to move.
If I get in, I pitch Jay as a potential buyer,

No intel from Narcotics or Gangs.
You guys are lucky I work here.
- You got something? - Yeah.
I think my unwitting, Perez, was in on the rip.
- What do you mean? - I ran his vehicle
through NVLS. Turns out,
his car was parked outside Booth's paint warehouse
three different times in the last week.
Pretty sure they weren't talking about color palettes.
So you think Perez and Booth planned the rip together?
He knows lots of dealers. Be a perfect partner for Booth.
So Booth steals the product, cooks it,
hands it over to Perez to sell? I mean,
- that's a match made in heaven. - Yeah, but the problem is,
if Perez is the distributor, we got no angle to play.
Hailey pitching Jay as a buyer doesn't mean anything.
