“Diane, it’s 4:10 in the afternoon at the scene of the crime. Here’s something we haven’t seen before: a mount of dirt. Approximately a foot and a half in diameter. On the top is a gold necklace with a gold heart. Correction, half a gold heart. At the base of the mount of dirt is a torn piece of news print. Written with the words, which appear to be in blood: ‘Fire walk with me.'”
– FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper on this date in 1989, when the body of Laura Palmer was discovered in Twin Peaks.
