Manish recounted his dismal discovery to Detective FBI detective Donald, who happens to be around the scene.

'I was walking by Mr. Rakesh's house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterwards.'
