"We were on our way back and we got a call from the desk - saying 'there's a crime scene, there's a maybe body discovered', way down south on Ocean Parkway. Go check it out," Einiger recalled.
When they arrived at the scene, it was cold and pitch black. There were four crime scenes along the beach and spotlights set up.
"It was clear at that point that it was something," recalled Einiger.
