The video re-enactment of the first killing shows Paul Drake (William Hopper) easily lifting and tossing a floppy-jointed dummy into the water. However, the next scene supposedly shows this same dummy falling into the water, but its body is now in a controlled head down, arms outstretched, steady dive. That, and the substantial water-entry splash, is consistent with a real human diving into the water.
