[first lines]
Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : So this is where Annabel drowned. December 2008, this lake was covered in two inches of ice, so she must have fallen through it.
Gerry Standing : How deep is it?
Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman : Oh, it's only six foot, but the cold and the shock mean she wouldn't have lasted more than a minute. Three days later, on Christmas Day, there was a thaw, and a jogger spotted her body in the water.

Gerry Standing : What's that mean?
