We spoke to apartment manager Ruth Bruyerre. Ruthanne asks any residents at the apartments she manages, where many victims lived, to contact her with any questions. But, she turned over the CCTV footage. Garbage samples. Everything else. No evidence of murder. NOELLE: . . .
NOELLE: What's with the hair? RUTH: Uh, I wanted to cover up the, - um, / NOELLE: And how was the show? RUTH: If I'm really crazy why haven't you told the police? NOELLE: . . .

NOELLE: I got my life back on track. I got a damn hobby... and I DIDN'T FUCKING KILL ANYONE!
RUTH: Laguna told me not to. NOELLE: Laguna? RUTH: Um... [DRAW...] Here. He tells me what to do... but only I can see him!
NOELLE: Okay, well, listen up. I've... mellowed out over the years. But I KNOW you. I KNOW how you MOVE. You won't hurt anyone if I have something to say about it. Even if it costs---
NOELLE: [GLUGGHLH] What are you wearing??? RUTH: It's my swimsuit! Isn't it cuuute? NOELLE: ...Yeah...
[STEP...] RUTH: It keeps my wrapper from getting soggy and my chocolate from getting gross. NOELLE: Mmm... [WHAP]
NOELLE: You're... really cute, you know that? RUTH: Aww! Thank you!
RUTH: Honey... NOELLE: I think I want to stay like this forever.
