The screen is too bright for the dimly lit room at first.
"Detective, what do you think of this?"
North leans forward to see what his subordinate wants to show.
It's footage of a man stalking a woman. She had taken it last night and just showed it after the police had shown up at her workplace.
In the video you can see how she was able to lose him by moving into a large crowd, pretty smart. The detective thinks to himself, he has been working on this case for a little while now and isn't sure if it is all really related. For all he knows, these killings could have been the work of a copycat killer. They have been going on for a while now, about an entire month. At first it was one victim a week, did that bastard change his pattern?
If this young woman has escaped the killer, she might be able to give them more information. 'hell, he might even be a part of her social circle, her colleague does seem rather suspicions. The detective does a silent prayer, hoping that these horrible events will soon come to pass.
He turns his head to his colleague: "Could I question her again? At the station, I would like to ask some more questions."
"She is currently quite in shock, so you really should be careful, but I will see what I can do."
"Thanks Reed, I will be. We better question that stalker of hers too. Wouldn't want this poor girl to deal with this alone."
