Not only that, but that comment should lead a trail to Leland. The routine parts of the investigation will be putting together the few hours before Maddy's death. Talking to friends and relatives will bring out the story that she was put on the bus to Masoula (sp?) by Leland. When they contact the driver and passengers of the bus to trace what happened to Maddy after that, the police will find that nobody saw her, which will conflict with Leland's story making him the prime suspect. After Leland is identified as prime suspect, the police analysts should scour the Palmer household and will find blood everywhere. Even if Leland spent a week cleaning the place, he would not be able to get rid of traces of the blood on the carpet, on his clothes and the glass fragments from the smashed picture. All this depends on a policeman putting in a few hours routine work, so I suppose that Leland is safe for now. It looks like Coop is going to investigate the dream angle and Zen Buddhism, Truman is too busy charging poeple he doesn't like for things they didn't committ (boy would he be in trouble in real life) and Andy is still discovering the facts of life (like babys take 9 months to develop, they don't whiz out in a couple of days). The police in Twin Peaks are not what they seem. Steve Austin
