[00:00.53]Back at the hotel,
[00:02.06]Evans spoke¹ to the maid, Gertrude.
[00:04.08]She had a German accent and was very unfriendly
[00:07.25]She called the assistant manager,
[00:08.95]Weber, who was very angry
[00:10.52]and tried to attack Evans.

[00:12.29]Evans was trying to defend himself
[00:13.53]when he was hit,again,from behind.
[00:15.64]When he came to, Weber's dead body
[00:18.05]was lying on his bed with a big knife
[00:20.26]in its back.
[00:22.03]This was the second dead body Evans had found.
[00:26.25]Evans tracked down Gertrude to a cabin²
[00:28.34]near the lake.
[00:29.64]She and another German girl were packing.
[00:33.04]The other girl pulled a gun on Evans,
[00:35.28]locked him into the cabin and drove off.
[00:37.48]Evans managed to escape
[00:38.62]and went to see the local sheriff
[00:39.92]and his assistant Andy.
[00:41.74]The sheriff was a heavy,
[00:43.26]calm man and he didn't believe Evans at first.
[00:45.82]He said there was no crime in the mountains.
[00:48.02]However, the sheriff, Andy and Evans went
[00:50.49]to the hotel and found Weber's body
[00:53.63]and later drove to the Lacey's cabin.
