Adrian Monk: Where did they find her?
Sheriff Fletcher: A couple of those UFO aficionados found her in the foothills about five miles west. Just lucky break. They were all out there looking for ET. She could've been out there forever.
Dr. Garcia: I figure she was hiking along the ridge, fell somehow, hit her head, and died instantly. And then the coyotes must've dragged the body about a mile, maybe two, into the desert.
Sheriff Fletcher: Dr. Garcia's written "accidental death" on the certificate, but I asked him to write it in pencil. I wanted to get a second opinion.
Adrian Monk: Why?
Sheriff Fletcher: It's a very small town, Mr. Monk. And Marge Larkin was as close as we have to an important person. So, like I said, I wanted to get this right.
