| - During an online auction, Deedee Duffield won two extremely valuable 19th century Scharnhorst Werkstatte Reposing Monkey statue, which were actually made of solid gold. She outbid The Shiny Shoes Killer, a collector of such monkeys, and became aware that retrieving them herself could be dangerous. When she met Chuck, a smalltown girl who came to her agency looking for adventure, she offered her a free Tahitian cruise in exchange for retrieving the suitcase. She told Chuck that the monkeys were worthless except for their sentimental value. Deedee's suspicions are proven true when Chuck is suffocated to death with a plastic bag and dumped over the side of the cruise trip. Fearful that she could be the killer's next target, Deedee offers a $50,000 reward for information leading to his capture. It was Deedee's reward that sparked the interest of Emerson Cod, who convinced Ned to take the case, thus reuniting with his childhood sweetheart Chuck. The reward offer came too late, however, and the killer soon confronts Duffield at the Boutique Travel Travel Boutique office. Like Chuck, he suffocated Deedee with a plastic bag, and left her dead body in her desk chair with the bag still over her face. Before expiring, Deedee imagines that the first person she will see in the afterlife will probably be Chuck.
