The cooler was shipped to them by the owner of a storage facility after he'd reported his suspicions to the police who didn't respond. Thery soon identify the dead man as Doug Courtney. The man wasn't very reliable and was un-liked by almost everyone who may have cared about him at one time. His parents, girlfriend, landlord and one-time best friend are all suspects and Brenda and the team devise a clever scheme to trap the guilty party. Meanwhile, Brenda and Fritz are having to deal with her niece Charlie who isn't exactly following their house rules. Written by garykmcd
