Langford looked at Harris like she was a simpleton. “We were always doing stuff like that. Going out, getting drunk. Picking up women and going back to their place. We have a strict no questions asked policy.”
“And your friend will be able to corroborate your story?”
“Colt Morrison. He’ll tell you the same thing I did.”
“We’ll be sure to find out,” Harris said. “What about Lucy’s friends and family? They must’ve been worried about her.”
“Her sister tried calling her the next day.”
“Then what happened?”
“Obviously, she didn’t pick up.”
“Mr. Langford, do I need to remind you that you are in an incredible amount of trouble? Your life, as you know it, is over. I am your best shot at getting what you want from this. I suggest you use less sarcasm.”
Langford rolled his eyes. “Of course, Detective. My apologies.”
Harris brushed it off. “Did Lucy’s sister call the police?”
“Yes.” Langford’s tone was one of forced civility. “They paid me a visit. I was upfront about the fight, but I said she left. I played the part of a grieving boyfriend, regretful of having cheated on her.”
“Were you aware of whether they suspected foul play?”
“They probably did, but you’d have to talk to the cops who interviewed me. Given my profession, I was afforded the benefit of the doubt. As far as I know, the investigation is ongoing.”
“And Lucy’s family?”
“Her sister tracked me down at work, asked all sorts of questions.”
“Did she suspect you?”
“I don’t think so. Like I said, being a doctor has its perks.”
“Did your colleagues have anything to say? Your friends? Did Colt Morrison suspect you?”
“Colt’s an idiot. We were pre-med together, but he couldn’t cut it. Dropped out and became a real estate agent. Like I said, he doesn’t ask questions.”
“And your colleagues?”
“They felt bad for me.” Langford looked proud of himself. “I was grieving. Got some time off out of it, too.”
“And the nurse you were sleeping with?”
“She didn’t care. She knew I had a girlfriend at the time. She thought I had bad luck. Made her feel bad for me. Worked out in my favor.”
Harris looked disgusted.
Cassie leaned over to David. “This guy is a joke. He watched his girlfriend die and has no remorse.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he pushed her,” David said. “But it’s going to be hell trying to prove that given his story.”
“Why is he admitting to all of this anyway? He knows he’s going to prison.”
“He would’ve gone to prison regardless. Better to go for covering up your girlfriend’s death—accidental or not—than to take the blame for killing those four women.”
“But he did kill those four women,” Cassie said.
Harris spoke again, cutting off whatever David was about to say.
