Bellevue - Season 1 Episode 3

The missing persons case of Jesse Sweetland turns into a homicide investigation when Annie discovers his dead body on the shore of the lake, he having died from blunt force trauma to the back of the head, with preliminary evidence pointing to his head being held under the water during whatever the altercation that killed him. Information also comes to the detectives' attention that Jesse was planning on running away with his boyfriend Danny the evening he went missing, Danny who saw Jesse in a white truck when Jesse was supposed to meet him for their departure that evening. Annie divulges to Peter the clues that led her to the body being from the riddler – although Annie is uncertain if the riddle was supposed to point her to the body or something else – and the other anonymous contact she has had with "him" during this investigation. Annie believes she has a special bond to the riddler who knows what happened to Jesse, and probably knows what happened to Sandy Driver. While Peter is upset with Annie for disobeying direct orders to not pursue leads from the riddler for her own sanity, Peter allows her to cultivate their relationship to discover more information, with Peter cautioning her that the riddler may be Jesse's murderer. All this new evidence points to another well respected person in town as a suspect, Annie who can see on the surface the motive that this new suspect would have in wanting Jesse dead. The investigation begins to have an effect on Annie's home life as Daisy begins to follow up on her class project regarding Sandy. Daisy's actions do not sit well with Eddie, who wants to protect his daughter and who partly blames Annie.
