Episode notes

The evidence Dave recovered in the tarpets did help detectives bring suspects into custody. He says his fellow officers have a nickname for him now, LaBraya Dave. We checked in with him one more time last week to see if he could give us any update on the case. And he wrote in an email that the investigation is still open and at least one individual is outstanding.

Sgt. David Mascarenas is the Dive Supervisor for the Los Angeles Police Department. He's been diving his whole life, and prides himself on never refusing a dive, no matter how treacherous. At least until the summer of 2013, when a murder investigation led him into the unusually murky waters of the La Brea tar pits.
