Martin Burgess

Martin Burgess was an outwardly meek man who lived in an apartment building managed by Forest McLeary. One evening, he heard an argument between Leonard Drake and Natalie Haverstraw. He knocked on their apartment door. Soon thereafter, Drake pursued Burgess to the apartment building garage, calling him a maggot and threatening injury. Burgess turned the tables on Drake and killed him. In Burgess's eyes, Drake was his (Burgess's) father. Burgess deposited Drake's body in a dumpster.
