Last Update:

Just watched Ch.7 again.

This time they didn't say the deceased was an OTB employee.

They interviewed one of his friends who was suppose to meet him at the OTB.

So apparently the guy was one of us.

A BDH ( Broken Down Horseplayer as Dave Feldman use to say) just playing the horses at the OTB.
