CATHARSIS - A SONG FOR A SERIAL KILLER

Chapter 6

The area of ​​the seas in the sector of the old port of Portland is known to leave visitors with a slightly blurred view.

But once the weekend fog is over, everyone is alert to the murders. The posters are spread throughout the city.

Detectives intensify their presence in Boca. Two plainclothes investigators playing clients infiltrate to catch the killer.

- We are here to protect you, girls. There's a serial killer in Boca killing prostitutes.

Soon, another body was found. The sound of the sirens of the vehicles deafened those who passed on the sidewalks. Also, strangled, however, this time, something totally new appears.

The crime took place inside the home of Cynthia Fox, the seventh victim. It turns out that Cynthia was not a prostitute. She had a steady job and had an apparently good relationship with her boyfriend.

Now, researchers will have another challenge. How did the killer get into the house? She let him in. Or did he have the keys to the house?

If there are no traces of burglary, she certainly knew him.

Was the killer changing his modus operandi? Or was it a passionate case?

At the crime scene, Jonas notes that the lock on the back door had recently been changed.

Jonas

- God! This bastard is a keychain.

Confused, Jonas and Joseph open a new investigation. They focus on the victim's boyfriend as the prime suspect, pending the results of the forensics. They are also beginning to investigate possible locksmiths in the region.

He was the last person to see her alive. It was a pizza delivery man named Elton.

Joseph

- Could you talk to me for a minute? When was the last time you saw her?

Elton

- We had broken up a few days ago.

The police thought he was lying. Elton refused to take the Polygraph tests, which raised suspicions about him.

Then detectives continue to investigate him, believing that he is the serial killer.

They also tried different tactics, such as monitoring ceremonies for victims in the hope of finding the killer in the crowd.

In many situations, the killer is present during some religious services.

Meanwhile, in an attempt to link Cynthia's case to the other cases of the Lagoa serial killer, detectives had access, through cameras, to the yellow utility vehicle license plates that were near the victim's home to obtain the owners and place them. them in a separate list to compare with the various yellow utility lists that were in the Boca area. Detective Joseph's attentive eyes do not detach from the screen where it is possible to see all the vehicles that have passed through the crime scene, and, magically, the scene confirms a utility similar to the description they were looking for, quickly moved towards the house of the victim, the night. It was not possible to identify the plaque, but the suspicion increases a lot about the same killer.

Undercover policemen and hidden cameras surrounded the vicinity of Cynthia's home, but no one stood out as a suspect.

Meanwhile the public continued to send tips.

- I think it was about three thousand tips that we had to follow.

This mysterious killer is the police's nightmare. They knew exactly the car and they knew the modus operandi that the killer used, they had their physical description. They even had their DNA. But even with all this evidence, they still haven't found a likely suspect.
