Biography[]
The bodies of two women, seemingly unrelated to each other, are found in a landfill. One of them, Valerie Brestin, worked in a financial company. The other, Fernanda Talan, worked in a soda factory (the founders of that factory were her sisters, Nilda and Esther). At first, it is suspected that the murder was carried out by a maniac nicknamed Troglodyte, who has never been caught. He killed women who were not related to each other and dumped their bodies in places similar to landfills (and exactly two bodies each). Meanwhile, KBI consultant Patrick Jane learns that one homeless person, having tried that very soda, suddenly died for no apparent reason. Having carried out another provocation, Patrick irrefutably proves that the soda at that factory was of poor quality. Esther and Nilda knew about this, but did not remove the defective product from production, since it brought in a good profit. Fernanda Talan found out about this and told her friend Valerie Brestin, with whom she rode to work on the same bus (so both victims WERE related). Esther and Nilda are arrested.
