- EPILOGUE
Meghan went missing months ago, so confirming his alibi for then would be hard. But they could still figure out where he was earlier today.
"Where were you earlier, Jordan?" Nicky asked.
"I was working an open house," he said.
"And did anyone come by?"
"Well, no, but--"
"No one came by?" Nicky asked. "Can anyone confirm if you were actually there?"
Jordan's face turned red. He looked away. "It wasn't exactly a hot property. No one showed up. But I promise you, I was there all day. Maybe someone did see me, I don't know."
"That's not good enough, Jordan," Ken said. "Maybe no one can tell us where you were because you were abducting your next victim."
"What? No. I mean, of course. I wouldn't do that."
"And why was that?" Nicky asked. "Because you can't get the women you'd already abducted out of your system? And it occurred to you that you could target someone new?"
"That's not true!"
"You're a killer," Ken said. "You've done this before. And you're going to kill Meghan Salinger. I have no doubt."
"No one's going to believe that."
"They will, Jordan," Ken said.
"This is all crazy talk," Jordan said. "When I get out of here, I'm gonna sue you two so hard. You really messed with the wrong guy.
A knock at the door cut the interrogation short. Nicky looked over her shoulder to see Sheriff Corbin, looking grim. "You two. We need to talk. Now."
Nicky shot Jordan a look before she and Ken met with the sheriff in the hall. The sheriff eyed them up. If the FBI wasn't all over this, Nicky was sure he wouldn't be so keen on relaying information, but he was being cooperative enough now.
"We just got word that Katz's properties have been searched extensively," Corbin said. "There's no sign of either of the missing women."
Nickys stomach dropped. That didnt sound good. "They've been checking everywhere?" Nicky asked.
"Yeah. My team, plus some of yours from the FBI, have got a whole team searching for Meghan Salinger and the other girl. They've got a dog unit and everything. I know Katz personally--his uncle Frank Katz is a good man. But let's put that aside for a second, because as you both know, this is out my hands now that you feds are involved."
Nicky could tell this was the biggest ego blow of Corbin's career, but she couldn't care less about that.
Corbin went on, "Katz only owns one property. Your friends at the FBI are looking into every property he's currently representing too. No sign of the girls anywhere."
