The case has been cold for three months , but he is made to feel guilty by his partner Bolander ( Ned Beatty ) into reexamining it . Munch makes no progress after speaking with the family and reexamining notes . Based on witness accounts of a man with long blond hair and a black car , Munch spends all night looking through suspect photos until he finds a man with a black car with front end damage and long black hair , but blond eyebrows . Munch and Bolander question him , believing the suspect ( Joe Hansard ) to have dyed his hair to change his appearance after killing the woman . He quickly confesses to having hit her accidentally while driving drunk .
