His questioning begins with Lydia Plank, Perry's former girlfriend, and Perry's best friend, the "Englischer" Walker Anderson. Lydia and Walker know they didn't have anything to do with Perry's death, but they both hold secrets about his final days. Do they dare open up about the kind of man Perry had become?
