- Airborne
Diane, Airborne. At what the pilot unintelligibly assures us is 17,000 feet. Dozed through breakfast and, for obvious reasons, am now awake. From the remains on the mans tray across the aisle, my stab at the menu was on the money. Except they served bacon instead of sausage. Should be on the ground in thirty minutes, which will be about the time I empty my thermos, although the pilot did mention something about a storm-front up ahead. Of course, statistically, when encountering weather aloft, the odds are in your favor in a smaller plane.
Diane, Time at this moment, seems of little importance. If, by chance, we should not pass through this incredible maelstrom, you will find instructions for the disposition of my worldly goods and my remains, should there be any, filed under, ‘Things to Come.’
- Case Summary
Diane, it’s time to lay this all out as we now have it. I’ll cut right to the events at the cabin. At or about 1 A.M., on the night of the murder, Leo Johnson, Laura Palmer, Jacques Renault and Ronette Pulaski arrived at Jacques cabin together. The four of them were heard passing by the cabin of the Log Lady.
Upon reaching Jacques, they partied, drugs and liquor were consumed, Laura was tied up and had sexual relations with both Leo and Jacques. Waldo, Jacques bird, was let out of his cage and attacked Laura. Leo and Jacques fought. Jacques went outside and passed out. When he came to, Leo and the girls were gone. What none of them knew, was that a third man was outside watching. He was heard passing by the Log Lady’s. I believe that Leo then left alone, leaving Laura tied up, at which time, the third man entered the cabin.
Several things support the notion that Leo was not involved in the actual murder. The strongest of which, is that on the night of the Teresa Banks murder, Leo Johnson was in jail, in Hungry Horse, Montana, on assault charges. The third man then took Ronnette and Laura to the train car on foot. Once inside, he killed Laura, a process that took him over an hour. During which, suffering from a severe blow to the head, Ronette escaped unobserved.
Five miles down the tracks from the train car, Deputy Hawk found a blood soaked rag and several scraps of bleached paper. The blood on the rag matches that used to write the note in the train car. ‘Fire Walk With Me.’ The blood was not Laura’s or Ronette’s, and it wasn’t Jacques or Leo’s, either. It was a rare type, AB negative, and it belongs to the man who wrote that note. The third man. The killer.
- Coop Heals
Diane, Ouch! The process of healing depends as much on clear, focused thought as a good, stiff anti-biotic. ouch! In the highest regions of the Himalayas, generations of Tibetan people have healed themselves through the power of the mind and the rigor of certain physical exercises. Ouch! I think I’m on the verge of a breakthrough. Ouch!
- Laura's Diary
Diane, I've just opened Laura Palmer's diary. This is the, uh, the last entry, dated February 23rd. It reads:
'Asparagus for dinner again. I hate asparagus. Does this mean I'll never grow up?'
And then she's written:
'Nervous about meeting "J" tonight.'
- Morgue
Diane, I am at the Twin Peaks County Morgue with the body of the victim, What's her name?
Harry: "Laura Palmer"
Laura Palmer.
I got it from the autopsy; Diane, it's the same thing. I told you I had a feeling we'd see this again.
- Past Midnight
Diane, Past Midnight. Calhoun Memorial Hospital. Jacques Renault is in custody, suffering from a gunshot wound to the left shoulder. Deputy Andy Brennan shot him, saving Harry’s life. Jacques did not kill Laura Palmer; he was a player in this game. Our attention now turns to Leo Johnson, still at large. Diane, I suspect the events of this night are far from over.
Doctor Lawrence Jacoby is resting in intensive care, suffering from a heart attack and/or physical assault. Possible relationship to this case-unknown. Except for one item, two hours ago, Dr. Jacoby claims to have seen Laura Palmer-alive.
Diane, please also note that James Hurley has been arrested for possession of cocaine, found in the gas tank of his bike. The informant, leading to this arrest, was apparently Leo Johnson. I believe I need a large cup of hot, strong coffee.
