Reacher, Roscoe and Finlay with JASPER (MEDICAL EXAMINER, Male, young, 28, nerdy/husky, in GEORGIA BULLDOGS WOMEN’S LACROSSE T-SHIRT) who walks them through the 2nd victim as he hands photos to them. He’s clearly a bit scared and rattled by having to handle a murder victim in a town that doesn’t get murder victims. JASPER
This 2nd guy? - still no ID on him - he was shot in the back of the head while runnin’ ‘way, but based on the blood splatter compared to where he was found, his legs kept pumpin’ for a few more feet ‘fore his brain told ‘im he was dead and he fell into the weeds . He was shot from far
