                              Twin Peaks
                         Summary of first show

     Perhaps you follow shows more closely than I do, but in case you
don't, I have summarized (as best I could) some of the characters and
clues from Sunday night's (August 5) airing of the Twin Peaks rerun.

CLUES:
     Diary: Feb. 23rd, "nervous about meeting 'J' tonight."
          Key to saftey deposit box found on an earlier page.
          a "white residue" found there as well.
     Fingernail:  Letter "R" found under the third finger of right
          hand.  No letter was found under the fingernail of Ronette
          Pulaski.
          Such a letter was found under the same fingernail of one
          Theresa Banks, killed a year earlier

     Video:  Shows Laura and Donna having a good time in the woods.
          In a close up of Laura's eye we see the front headlight of a
          motorcycle.

     Murder scene: Mound of dirt a foot and a half high.
          Gold medallion of a half a heart.  James has other half.  He
               and Donna bury it, but someone recovers it at end of
               first episode.
          News print with a message printed in blood:
                    "Fire, walk with me."

          "Fleshworld" magazine with Ronette Pulaski featured in an
               Ad.  Another ad has a truck in it.  Camera fades to
               Leo's truck.

          wash.

told her that he had killed 'this guy.'  She then screamed that she
loved James.

He is also a biker.  He and Donna are a number by episode's end.  He
tells Donna that Laura screamed that she loved James just before she
ran off into the night.  James just rode around for the rest of the
night.  He has no alibi.

Lady'."  The log is an eye-witness to the crime.
