[ Rick isn't sure there's any actual victims here unless it's the Walker. The bottom line is that the Walker is a victim, but not of him or this situation. It's a victim of whatever killed it. It's a victim of people not letting it rest in peace whether directly or indirectly.
The parting jab from her friend is fine too whether the guy means it or not. Again, he wouldn't believe a stranger over his people either. But clearly the guy is more qualified to help Letha than him, and Rick has things he needs to see to right now.
He nods at the guy and backs away a few steps until he feels he's a safe enough distance away to turn and walk away. He's going to find Carl first and foremost - then, the police station. He's also got to see what he can learn about necromancy. ]
