Quote from Kelso in Down the Road Apiece
Kelso: Okay, I think it's obvious what happened to Eric. We got an abandoned car, a flat tire and footprints heading off in that direction. Ms. Forman, your son's been kidnapped by coyotes. Red: Isn't it more likely that he had a flat tire, couldn't change it himself and went off to find some help? Kelso: And the coyotes got him along the way. Yeah, now you're thinking like a cop.
