CONTINUITY NOTE: story occurs approximately six years after Alec came to Broadchurch, two years after the Three Ladies Murders in Los Angeles. Life is much the same for Alec and Ellie, because that's how they want it. Their team at the Broadchurch Police Department has been upgraded to a separate unit, the Investigative Team. They take cases that are either unsolvable, or are too unusual for local departments to handle. The twenty-person Investigative Team is in huge demand, and garner great respect, despite their occasionally unusual methods.
PLOT NOTE: I know nothing of English geography, so I picked a name and distance and went with it.
PLOT NOTE 2: Radio lingo is an educated guess based on knowledge of American radio lingo.
