Jake Randolph in "Requiem For A Stripper" Pt. 175
"Are you sure it was Debra?" I asked.
"Dental records confirmed it," he said.
"Did she drown?"
"No, she had a stab wound in the back from what was apparently a very large knife. Coroner said she was already dead when she was dropped in the drink."
"Well, I don't know of many people who commit suicide by stabbing themselves in the back and then diving into the ocean, so I can assume this is being treated as a homicide?"
"Well, it's not likely to have been an accident, Jake."
"Sorry. Cut me some slack, it's 4:30 in the morning."

I doubted whether they could get hold of someone's dental records that late at night, but I figured it wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

Why spoil a good storyline for want of a dental record strategy! But Jake... or rather Mr Grumpy... don’t sourpuss your source. You need Harrigan...

That's the truth. He'd be lost without Harrigan and the L.A.P.D. Or at the very least he'd have to do a lot more legwork.
