Gus The Lab ,

Murder in Apt 12

Thank you for telling this story. So scary that Detective Frost is still a working officer. This is totally a show of some should not be in law enforcement. Shame on all that allowed him to proceed with this career. Just goes to show everyone you have to keep the fight!!
