Otis Heiss: True Detective: Night Country character explained

In True Detective: Night Country, Peter finds the record of Otis Heiss, who once suffered from the same injuries as Tsalal men. Klaus Tange plays Otis.

Otis Heiss is a German national who once reported injuries similar to those of Tsalal men in 1998 in Ennis.

Peter finds out that Otis has no records of employment, no bank accounts, no credit card numbers, his social security has been inactive since November 2006, and that he has no registered address for the past eight years.

Otis has a long history of disorderly conduct. He has been in and out of rehab forever.

Otis was last picked up by a trooper two months ago. Since then, there has been no sign of him. Otis has become a junkie since the accident.

However, nobody knows the cause of the accident. There is no information on it out there. Liz thinks Clark and Otis are in the same place. Hence, she orders Peter to tell everyone to look for Otis too.

Otis resurfaces

While looking for the location in the video of Annie’s murder, Liz and Navarro reach out to Professor Bryce.

To explore the caves where Annie may have died, Bryce claims that they need a guide. Bryce suggests tracking down the person who mapped the cave systems, and Otis’ name resurfaces again.

Peter eventually hears the news of someone spotting Raymond Clark. Liz and Navarro go to hunt Clark down.

They eventually find someone in what looks like an abandoned factory. While spirits take over Navarro’s mind, Liz catches the person at the factory, whom she assumes is Clark.
