When Alicia arrives at Sweeney's apartment she finds him handcuffed to a dead woman and his dog has been stabbed to death. The woman is identified as court reporter, Sheila Warburg. She was stalking Colin after his murder trial and he played along, but during there last encounter she was trying to kill him and he was only defending himself.
