[ Yeah, unfortunately the only true crime Riley can get excited about is the kind that doesn't involve people she knows. ]
They never did! But, they could identify exactly who it belonged to, between the fingerprints and the arm's very distinct tattoo. The man was Jimmy Smith. He'd been missing for a little over two weeks when the shark vomited up his arm. Despite seeming like he didn't have any enemies, he was actually a small-time criminal, who had been doing insurance scams and drug deals for his employer, Reginald Holmes, for a few years. Recently, he'd taken to blackmailing him.
He'd last been seen with another small-time criminal, forger Patrick Francis Brady. The two left a bar and relocated to a cottage Patrick Brady had been renting. It was the last time anyone ever saw Jimmy Smith alive.
The two men, Brady and Holmes, kept accusing each other in the murder. Holmes denied having anything to do with Brady, but he tried to kill himself only days after they started questioning him!! The wild thing? He missed. He went on to be involved in a four hour speedboat chase with the police, while having a bullet hole in his head.
