Da Vinci’s Inquest - Season 6 Episode 11

An eyewitness sees a car drive into False Creek. One male passenger in the vehicle managed to make it out of the water and flee the scene, whereas one female passenger drowned. The male ends up being university professor Harold Stanley Keller (it was his car), the deceased female one of his students named Ellen DeWitt. Shannon and Williams interrogate Keller, who initially tells a story of a purely innocent professor/student relationship and a malfunctioning car. After Shannon and Williams find some evidence to the contrary, Keller eventually tells them that he was meeting DeWitt to end a sexual relationship, but that the car going into the water was purely an accident. Danielle, a former roommate of DeWitt's also tell them that DeWitt was a controlling woman – "creepy" was the word Danielle used to describe DeWitt. But they still have to determine if the car going into the water was indeed an accident or done on purpose by Keller to get rid of his problem. Da Vinci investigates a naked dead body found near a water hazard of a golf course, he being soaking wet despite no rain, and his clothes piled nearby. The authorities discover that he is Leon Dean Barrett, his abandoned car found down the road. Ned Partridge, an eyewitness who called 911 tells them that he saw Barrett's car weaving erratically along the road. However, another eyewitness tells another story of seeing Barrett's car in a traffic confrontation with another vehicle, the driver of that vehicle who Da Vinci has already met. With Kosmo and Leary's investigation of Curtis, Curtis goes missing after the dope deal with Prentice. And using old style tactics, Shannon does Da Vinci an unspoken favor.
