Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 22

The victim was located dead in the middle of the woods. A group of teenagers high on cannabis stumbled across it accidentally, as they ran to escape the police who were trying to arrest them for the use of illegal substances. Falling over the cold girl, they panicked and started running back to the law enforcers, screaming their innocence and lack of knowledge of who she was.

Detective Harrison had been called to the scene of the crime to verify the girl's involvement in the Morse Code murders. Even though Jane Doe was yet to be identified, the radius bone was exposed and a piece had been expertly removed with a scalpel, suggesting that indeed she was part of the serial murder's killing spree. Forensics will have to confirm if the bone segment had been removed while the victim had been alive or post death. Judging from the victim, she had died of extreme blood loss, though no blood was anywhere in the vicinity of the body. Time of death? Possibly a day old. Again forensics would confirm all the details. Age? Harrison would hazard a guess that she was between 20 and 25 like the remaining victims.

Hopefully the murderer had left some form of DNA so that they could track them down.

Before any more girls died.

Fortunately, the papers had yet to gain wind of the situation. This gave the the police a head start in the search.

Meant that the perpetrator would not be in hiding.

Small victory.
