Wednesday-The Next Morning

Jane and Maura walk into BPD. Maura hands everyone a coffee.

Jane: (to Frost) You still haven't cracked the password on her phone?

Frost: Thanks.

Korsak: Give it up. Hey, maybe the D.O.J. will let you borrow that kid that hacked into the pentagon.

Frost: I'll get it.

Korsak: While you were playing with that cellphone, I did some actual work.
I went to Victoria's apartment. Locked up tight, nothing disturbed. She moved here from Atlanta to take a job at an accounting firm Ron Montgomery Associates.

Jane: Is her office anywhere near where we found her body?

Korsak: No. Castlegate Towers in Jamaica plain.

Jane: And we don't know where she was last seen?

Nina walks up.

Nina: Nope. She had a bus pass.

Jane: You look at the bus drivers on the route - between her office and her apartment?

Nina: No! Gee! Didn't think of that. Yes, I checked the route she might have taken and all 73 others. Drivers working that day and night checked out.

Frost: Oh, yeah! Yes! I am good. I'm finally in. I think I know why our victim was deleting all her texts.

Frankie: Uh-oh.

Frost: Yeah, she was a sexter. And she was sexting with someone named "R."

Jane: Oh, my. "R" wasn't shy, was he? Must be running for congress.

Korsak: "R" for Ron? Ron Montgomery Associates?

Jane: "Ron Montgomery runs a family company with family-friendly values."

Korsak: I remember when that meant you weren't a pervert.

R&I

Interrogation Room w/Ron

Ron: She was new, but she was a good employee.

Nina: You send your picture to all your good employees?

Ron: Oh, that. Uh, uh, no, we were we were just having some innocent fun.

Frost: Yeah, looks real innocent.

He shows the crime scene photo.

Ron: Oh. No. I didn't do that. I-I-I could never do something like that.

Nina: But you did have sex with her, didn't you?

Ron: No. No, we didn't. I'm married.

Nina: And we have evidence that Victoria had sex with someone the day she died.

Ron: You have evidence?

Nina: Yeah, a little semen. Which is full of DNA, so why don't we just do a cheek swab and make sure it's not your DNA.

Ron: Okay. No, we had sex. We had sex. It was consensual and it was on her lunch hour.

Nina: 'Cause you can't have her fooling around on company time.

Ron: She was lonely. It wasn't serious.

Frost: It is now. When did you leave work?

Ron: Um, I left before she did. You-you can check with security. I used my key card in the parking garage.

Frost: Where did you go after that?

Ron: Straight home.

Korsak walks in.

Korsak: We've got another one. Probably happened last night.

Frost: Get Frankie. Tell him to check those security tapes in his building. Make sure his story checks out.
