the case.
“Thanks for coming in, everyone,” Amanda said. “Go home and get some rest.”
“Just let us know if you hear from Kelly,” Justin said.
Bleak faces stared back, the young women’s expressions full of fear as if they realized that they could become a victim just as easily as Kelly had. Especially if this criminal was choosing random women.
But he’d intentionally avoided linking Kelly’s disappearance to the others to avoid panic.
Raymond stood on shaky legs. “Please find her, Sergeant Thorpe and Sheriff Blair.”
Justin nodded and Amanda murmured she’d be in touch.
Raymond’s father guided his son out, talking in a hushed voice, trying to offer words of comfort that Justin was certain fell on deaf ears.
“God,” Amanda said as the door closed and they were left alone. “I’m afraid we may not be able to give him what he wants.”
Justin gritted his teeth. He knew exactly what she meant. Because Fisher wanted his fiancé back alive, saying her vows at their wedding. He and Amanda both knew that might not happen.
He might be burying her instead.
That is, if they found her body. So many victims had never been found or their bodies recovered.
Amanda rubbed the back of her neck, and he realized she looked tired. Hell, she was probably exhausted. It had been a long day.
And it wasn’t over.
Justin propped one hip against the desk. “We need to talk before we go.”
A streak of panic darkened Amanda’s face, and she poured another cup of coffee. She handed him a cup, then took hers and sank into her desk chair with a resigned sigh as if she knew he had bad news.
