Then they brought his body here and dumped it. 78 00:04:50,923 --> 00:04:53,721 Ryan, were there any witnesses? Anyone that saw a car driving away? 79 00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:55,784 Not yet, but I just started the canvass. 80 00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:57,328 Okay.

We usually only do two. 89 00:05:14,447 --> 00:05:17,007 Yeah. Just call it a hunch. 90 00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:18,607 All right. 91 00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,984 I'll see you guys at the precinct.

Hey, uh, did you get anything from Jason Marks' office? 98 00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:47,171 Yeah. They had no idea that he was in town. 99 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:48,508 Neither did his family. 100 00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:51,174 Whatever he was doing here, he was keeping it on the down-low. 101 00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:54,117 But we did find out that Marks was staying at a hotel in Midtown. 102 00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:56,314 We're checking to see whether he had any guests 103 00:05:56,456 --> 00:05:58,136 or made any phone calls while he was there. 104 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,491 I just found something a whole lot hotter than that. 105 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,222 I pulled footage from a five-block radius, like you asked. 106 00:06:03,329 --> 00:06:04,729 Turned out to be a hell of a hunch. 107 00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:09,165 A camera off 12th caught Marks in a town car. Look who's driving. 108 00:06:13,139 --> 00:06:15,300 Vulcan Simmons. 109 00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:19,539 If this picture was taken five blocks from the crime scene, at 1:16 a.m., 110 00:06:19,645 --> 00:06:21,875 it means that Marks was probably killed just a few minutes later. 111 00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:23,812 Maybe there's some other video of Vulcan pulling the trigger. 112 00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:25,963 There isn't. I was able to track them to 15th Street, 113 00:06:25,987 --> 00:06:27,476 but there's no coverage after that. 114 00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:29,748 What's a drug lord like Vulcan Simmons doing mixed up 115 00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:31,721 with a D.C.
