Murder Witness #3:
Dottie the fish killer
DOTTIE:
Dottie, a swamp-side fisher with a love for failure, and an untamed spirit. She’s caught every musty shoe, rusty bucket, and questionable secrets that lurk below. If fish exist, they’re either extinct or just too scared of her groovy dance moves. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

DOTTIE'S TESTIMONY:
​
Int - Interrogation Room - Day
INVESTEGATOR
Take your time, Dottie. Just tell me what you saw.
​
DOTTIE
Blonde hair with chunks of black and white,
like some mangy dog. Skin shimmered like fish
scales. And she had these... things on her
neck—like gills, I swear. If she was a
person, God really botched the
blueprints.
​
INVESTEGATOR
You're sure? Gills?
​
DOTTIE
I fish, Mister. I know gills when I see 'em.​
​​​
Beat.
DOTTIE
Strutting. Proudly like she'd just won a trophy for
something twisted.
​
INVESTEGATOR
And April?
​
DOTTIE
I found her in her bed. Face all peaceful, like she
was dreaming... 'cept for the nail scissors jammed
between her eyes....I guess welcome to Kansas City;
Where the fish walk and the people die in their beds.
