Who wrote this note? Who is he? This note leads Harri to David Asha, who was last seen stepping off a cliff.

Police suspect he couldnt cope after his wifes sudden death.

Still, why would this man jump and leave behind his young son? Quickly, Harris attention zeroes in on a person she knows all too well.
