General Hospital spoilers and updates tease Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) will collaborate on an investigation. Dante gets some disturbing news, and he and Chase are off on a search for a missing Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth) and find him shot-who killed him?
Austin Gatlin-Holt Was Going To Flip On Mason Gatlin’s Boss
Even if Austin was going to turn on Mason’s supervisor, Dante had a good idea that Mason Gatlin (Nathaniel Grey) wasn’t the only Gatlin in the family business.
He had confronted Austin with the information Dante had provided concerning the illicit operations Austin had been carrying out in a hospital operating room.
Following Mason’s imprisonment for kidnapping and almost killing Ava Jerome (Maura West), Chase had been the one questioning Mason, and Dante had informed Austin he could save himself if he turned.
Dante also had information that Mason had visited Austin in the hospital many times, and one “patient” of theirs had wound up shot in an alley.
Perhaps that patient was going to flip on all of them, his killer was never found although a hit was suspected, having been ordered by their boss.
Austin Gatlin-Holt Never Called Back
When Austin came back to talk to Dante he was going to flip on the boss but he wanted an immunity deal.
Dante okayed it with District Attorney Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) but when he called Austin, he never called back.
Dante remembered that Austin was afraid he’d be a dead man if anyone found out he’d gone to the police.
After the hospital reported he never came into work and his patients were farmed out to other doctors, a search was begun in earnest.
Chase and Dante head out to Pautauk, and look in the houses Austin had owned there-and find his house, and him, shot dead.
No Bullet Casings, No Prints, No Proof
The county sheriff coordinates with the PCPD on this investigation, since Pautauk is out in the county-a small town a little bit smaller than Beecher’s Corners.
As questioning in the neighborhood commences, the united forensic team discovers Austin had no enemies and discovers that there are no bullet casings, prints, or other evidence of who killed Austin.
When Dante was searching for Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) and her infant, he discovered that the security cameras in the home had been removed.
There were no indications of a break-in, therefore whomever killed Austin had to have been either someone he knew or someone else’s guest. Or maybe Austin was pushed inside by a hit man the boss had hired to follow him around.
