Petrie Beach

Petrie Beach (formerly known as Rand Beach) is a location in Season One of the Showtime series DEXTER.

It's a crime scene where the severed hand of Tony Tucci is found.

Location[]

Miami, FL

History[]

Petrie Beach (then Rand Beach) is a place where Dexter Morgan and his adoptive family had picnics when he was a child.

Season One[]

The Ice Truck Killer breaks into Dexter's Apartment and looks through his family album, noticing a photo of young Dexter at the beach. The killer then uses the same beach area to display Tony Tucci's severed left hand. (This is the first amputation and it proves that Tucci is a victim, not the perp.)

As Sgt. James Doakes makes his way to the crime scene, he is followed by Carlos Guerrero's men.

When Dexter arrives at the beach, Angel Batista shows him the hand.

Dexter: (to Angel) "Interesting hand job."
Angel: (smiling) "That's funny!"
Dexter: "It is?"

A photo was left by the killer and it reminds Dexter of being at the same spot with his family, years ago. It was the time when Harry had taught him why he should smile for photos.
