Chapter 66

Chapter: 66

We get ready for Jen and Anthony to come over and they get here a little while later.

'Hey guys, come on in' Patrick says letting them in Jack runs over and Anthony picks him up.

'Jo's in the office, drinks?' He asks and they nod.

He gets them two cokes and they walk into the office.

'Hey guys' I say from behind the desk.

I have everything out.

'Maybe we should go to the dining room table?' Patrick asks me.

I shrug 'Good idea' I say.

Everyone helps moves everything to the large wooden oval table near the kitchen. We set the board up on the buffet table on a stand.

'Lets sort the pictures by crime and go from there' I tell them.

We sort out everything and we take a look at it all.

'So the first crime was Jan. 1st, the business guy' I say.

'Wait, the 31st is when you got the writing on your garage' Jen says.

'Yes, thanks Jen' I say moving those photos to the top of the table.

'Then it was the business guy, then it was the soap star and her fiancé Jan 24th' I say.

Anthony grabs those photos to the line.

'Then right after on the 27th, it was the pregnant woman and her friends' I say Patrick grabs those photos and put them in the line.

'Then on the 7th of Feb, another couple was murdered' Patrick says.

I grab those photos next to the last ones.

'Then on the 13th, we were at the wedding, there was another couple found' I say and Jen passes me those photos and I put them in the line.

'Then there wasn't a murder until late March on the 23rd, I think.' I say looking at my notebook.

Anthony grabs the photos and puts them down.

'So these have been all the murders but nothing since then. I doubled check the LAPD files and it's not like there has been more that haven't been reported on' I say.

'The one that stands out the most is the one most like the Tate killings' Patrick says sliding the photos of the pregnant woman and her friends forward a little.

'I agree, when we went to the crime scene and we took photos.' I say taking out those photos from a file.

'When we where there, we found a small cross necklace and a prayer card' Patrick says grabbing those photos and setting them on the table.

Jen looks at the crime scene photo copies from the police and sits down.

'Those were not there I the original photos' Jen says looking at us.

'Yeah, we noticed that too. So that means someone was there after the crime and left those.' Patrick says.

'Who would do that?' Jen asks

'A remorseful and god-loving killer' Anthony says and we look at him.

'Just saying, the address wasn't released and the front of the house was never shown on the news' and I nod.

'Exactly. I think the focus needs to be on this murder. When my dad and I were snooping around at the mixer I snuck into the office and I took these photos' I say grabbing the photos and I spread them out on the table.
