25. The police once again suspect that Robert Forrester was involved in the incident. Where do the detectives go next to corroborate if Forrester was telling the truth? (you probably take your car here often)
From Quiz 1.5 "Law & Order: Los Angeles" - "Pasadena"
Answer:
Gas station
Carolyn Yarborough finally reveals the truth to DDA Price: Congressman Nelson used Adam to cover up his affair with Rebecca. In fact, Nelson wanted Rebecca to go to an abortion clinic but she refused. DDA Price talks to Patricia Nelson, the Congressman's wife, while her team gets a DNA sample from him. She says that she wants everything to be clarified, and seems upset at her husband after the prosecutors leave her home. The prosecution then discovers that Robert Forrester works for AQG Industries, one of Yarborough's clients and also beneficiaries of legislation sponsored by Congressman Nelson. Since Forrester started that job immediately after he separated from Rebecca, the prosecutors now believe he was paid off by Congressman Nelson.
Rebecca now denies that the Congressman had anything to do with this, so Morales and Price think that she is under duress from Nelson. She gives them a description of the car that ran her over and since it sounds like an older vehicle, the prosecutors want the police to check nearby gas stations where the car must have stopped at some point. The detectives narrow the search down to stations between Pasadena and Twentynine Palms, as they now think Forrester is involved. Winters and Jaruszalski ask the attendant at Mataro Gas if he saw Forrester. While he didn't, the attendant leads the police to a puddle of water where the car was supposedly washed. He also gives them a shirt that was probably used to clean the car, which turns out to have Rebecca's blood on it.
The LAPD arrests Robert Forrester and the Congressman gives a press conference saying he hopes this puts a stop to the speculation surrounding his family. DDA Morales still wants to press charges against Congressman Nelson, so he tries to "flip" Forrester to no avail. The LAPD then discovers something new: Forrester's alibi is not as airtight as they thought, because his computer was accessed remotely to make it look like he was in the hotel room all night. DDA Morales decides to charge Nelson as a co-conspirator to see if either he or Forrester will tell the truth. After a judge rules there is sufficient evidence to take the case to trial, Congressman Nelson agrees to talk to the prosecutors.
