And wouldn’t.
“Well, they haven’t handed it over yet. Maybe we should dig in. You know, we might not find the bodies. If not, that gives us time.”
He was aware.
“We can do that. The CSIs are running the house as a crime scene. Want to head out and start doing some interviews? The woman’s neighbors might be home, and the husband might be back from his attempt to find her.”
She nodded.
That sounded like the best idea so far. She was itching to dig into this, now that they knew more about the women who’d gone missing.
