Emergency Services received a 911 call reporting a death at a remote lodge in Yoknpatawpha County where an independent film was being made.
Investigators found photos of the cast in a press kit for the movie.
Back at the station, Detectives Armstrong and Murphy talked to the lead actor in the film, who claimed at the scene that he killed Dalton Kimbrough.
Then they spoke to Dalton’s girlfriend and lead actress about the events surrounding her discovery of his body.
Next up, the detectives questioned the man who called 911 and protected the scene.
As Detectives Armstrong and Murphy continued to make their way through the cast and crew of Dalton’s film, the novice actor who played the movie’s villain was next on their list.
