“I think your’ initial profile is correct. It’s someone from here. Someone who knew Sam and her habits. That was a path she traveled all the time. I feel like someone was watching and waiting to strike. Think about it. Most of the town is asleep at that time of night. The only people awake are the college students, and most of us were still gone for spring break.”
Staring at Jay, my mind starts running a million miles an hour. Clues are starting to piece themselves together.
“We can only eliminate three people from the list if you want to focus on people from town. That leaves us with close to two dozen people as potential suspects. We need to narrow the list down.”
“We should listen to the interviews,” he suggests as the alarm on my phone goes off. Reaching over, he silences it and then adds, “After the memorial bunch.”
I realize he’s found a way to secure more alone time with me but that doesn’t stop me from agreeing. I feel like we’re onto something. That the answers are in front of us, we just have to look a little deeper.
Sam’s murder has always felt like a puzzle someone dumped out of the box onto the table, pieces flying everywhere, and we couldn’t put it together. Now, it feels like the puzzle isn’t scattered everywhere anymore. We have all the outside pieces connected. We just need to work on the little details and soon we’ll have a finished picture of what happened.
More importantly, of who is responsible.
We have hope.
