“Hey, we’ve finally figured out who made the phone call,” Pierce said. “His name is Justin Quincy and he lives right across the street. He also has a record and he just got out of jail on parole.”
“Why was he locked up?”
“Attempted murder of his girlfriend, Susan Wright, a few years ago. He somehow paid his way out of prison and now he is a free man. If he’s our man, then maybe this wasn’t a personal killing.”
“All right, do you want us to go pick him up?”
“No, they’ll be bringing him to us. I’ll be there in a few minutes so wait until I get there before you start the interrogation.”
“I can do that, and when will you be bringing in Jeanine Groves? She is a good suspect for this. She has a long list of assaults.”
“I sent an officer to her home but she was not there. We will be waiting for her though and we will surely find her.”
The call ended and she turned to see Weston scribbling something down in his notebook. Getting up from her desk, she walked over towards him and stood behind him.
“What are you writing?”
He tensed up as he turned towards her. He moved out of the way so she could take a look at his screen. He was making notes about Ashlee.
“Did you find anything useful?”
His hand went to his mouse and he showed her his progress. “I am trying to figure out if anyone in her day to day life could have anything to do with her murder.”
“Good idea, but you might be wasting your time. The man who called in the murder is now being brought in for questioning. He might just be our man. Pull up Justin Quincy’s file.”
Within seconds his file flashed onto the screen. He looked like your normal every day guy you would see on the streets. But his rap sheet was anything but normal. There were two previous reports of domestic violence; he did time for possession of drugs; and as a teenager he had shoplifted a handful of times. Her eyes scanned the rest of his file. All this would come in handy during the interrogation.
“Do me a favor, Dean, and pull up the case with him regarding Susan Wright.”
The file showed that the night he was arrested, he was screened for drugs and tested positive for lysergic acid diethylamide. For whatever reason, he had refused his rights to an attorney and went on to plead innocent. He told the jury that Susan had spiked his food with acid and provoked him when he was high. The jury convicted him and he only did five years.
“When was he released?”
“On the fourteenth,” he said. “He has not even been out of jail for more than a week!”
“Do you think he is the murderer or that it was personal?”
He paused for a moment, looking back at her. “Yes I still think it is. Although this guy has a rap sheet a mile high, I don’t think he is the type who would kill randomly without a justifiable cause. Plus he is eighty pounds overweight, and even if Ashlee was recovering from an injury she could have outrun him quite easily.”
Silent for a moment she went through all the possibilities and had to admit he had a point. They heard footsteps approaching and turned to see Pierce approaching.
“What do the two of you think about this guy?”
“He is scum, but he is not our guy.”
Carson shook his head. “I don’t agree. They found her blood on his clothes and shoes. But let’s wait until the interrogation is over, then we’ll get a clearer picture. Let’s go, they are ready for us.”
“We, as in all three of us?”
“Yes. You should see how an interrogation works. Plus you know how to talk to thugs like him.”
As they headed for the interrogation room, Chelsea noticed how empty the place was. There were only two other agents that worked in this department, much less than the resources they needed. This led to too many unsolved murders due to shortage of staff to carry out the investigations. Plus there were those who went missing and were never found. She wished she had the power to do
