Who did Bobby kill during the drug deal?
Although some were confused about the identity of the man delivering thedrugs to Bobby and Laura, both the shooting script and the film (if youwatch carefully) identify him as Cliff Howard, the deputy whose nose AgentDesmond tweaks in the Deer Meadow sheriff’s office. Laura, in her drunken/high state, is not sure who Bobby has shot, but seesDeputy Cliff’s blond hair and guesses that it’s Bobby’s friend, Mike Nelson,which is why she taunts Bobby with “you killed Mike”. [Incidentally, Cliff Howard lives in the same trailer park as Teresa Banks.This is revealed in a scene cut from the film (see the “missing scenes” filesfor details).
