Complete story — includes the ending
A hitchhiker, Aura Lee Benton (Melissa Greene), is picked up by state senator Evan Murdock ( Robert Webber ) and they have a one night stand. When leaving their motel he runs down a drunk who stumbled onto the road. The senator separates from Aura Lee and handles the accident with the police. Some time later she is found dead in her apartment, and Rockford's old friend Sara Butler ( Lindsay Wagner ) (his client in the pilot movie "Backlash of the Hunter") hires him to investigate. Jim discovers Aura Lee's connection with Murdock and questions him about it, and he seems unfazed. But soon afterward the senator too is found dead. With Greg Mullavey, Henry Slate, Bill Mumy and Linda Dano.
