00:00I

00:29got an arson, I got a murder, I have a dead white female inside of a trailer with a cord

00:35around her neck.

00:36What I need to do next, I need to pound the pavement, I need to start knocking on doors

00:40in this trailer park to find out what went on with my girl.

00:44Hi, how are you doing, I'm Detective McFadden, investigating the murder of your neighbor

00:49Sandra Testa.

00:50Oh no, no, sorry.

00:58This particular trailer park is, for the most part, predominantly white, and it's pretty

01:04obvious because of the color of his skin that he didn't live in this particular neighborhood.

01:09So they knew what he was doing and why he was there.

01:14So I have to understand, and I have to realize this, that I am a black homicide detective

01:21with a badge walking around in a part of a trailer park that they don't usually see somebody

01:27like me, especially in the suit that I was wearing that day.

01:30Can I help you?

01:33Hi, good morning, I'm Detective McFadden, I'm looking for a suspect in the murder of

01:38a young woman.

01:39Can I have a moment of your time?

01:42Not right now.

01:46But I'm still going to knock on those doors, I'm still going to ask the questions, and

01:50I'm not going away.

01:52I am going to be like an insect, I'm there to bug you, bug you, bug you, until you swap

01:56me away.

02:10I feel like I'm a pimp trying to sell a Playboy at a revival, nobody is talking to me, nobody.
