As for himself, he doesn’t need any more evidence. Not since he finally saw, face to face, the man he believed was the killer. “When I actually went in there, into that Ace Hardware Store, I was satisfied,” he says, describing a scene that’s eerily re-created in the movie. “I know who it is, I thought, I’m done. Because it’s easy to get sucked into that case. So many clues and coincidences. But I remember that scene. The cash register was here, it was about 5:30 in the evening, the place was brilliantly lit, and he was 20 feet away in his orange smock. And I knew. The look in his eyes. It was like a tuning fork had been struck.”
