  61. Excerpt

Kimberly had graduated cum laude from the Health and Human Services College. He wished he could do a wide search on the Sigma Rho website, but all the newsletters were PDF documents, and he had to search each one separately, which was time-consuming. He almost wished he had asked Lizzy to split the newsletters with him.

He found Kimberly’s rush statement, which clearly showed she was an overachiever.

Extracurricular activities in high school: Varsity Cheerleading, 4 years. Captain, senior year. Student Council, 4 years. Senior Class Vice President. Varsity Cross-Country, 4 years. Peer tutoring, 4 years. Debate Club, 2 years. Class Valedictorian.

Rush Statement: Sigma Rho is the only sorority I wanted to join. The smart women here are focused on the future, with the overwhelming majority majoring in science and math. I am an only child and have always wanted sisters—joining Sigma Rho would complete me in ways that only another only child would understand. My strengths are organization, coalition building, and loyalty. I will always support my sisters in whatever they choose to do, and I look forward to lifetime friendships.

Lucas cringed. Were all of these things so sappy? Maybe he was being negative because the sorority had closed ranks and wouldn’t talk to him.

He saved each page to his desktop so that he could review them later. He already had all of Candace’s information; it had been one of the first things he’d done. He found Taylor James, Annie Johnston, Alexa Castillo, who Annie had mentioned as having volunteered with Candace, and Vicky Ryan.

He then started running a variety of Google searches on Kimberly Foster, and after several tries, he found her.

Kim was now the public information officer for the largest biotech company in the southwest. She made six figures and lived in Old Town Scottsdale in a condo now worth more than $600,000. She was single but had dated a professional baseball player, as well as the CEO of a software company. Kim had been profiled as one of the Top 30 Women under 30 in a statewide business magazine last year.

She had done very well for herself. He wondered if she would talk to him, or Regan, about Candace. He saved her social-media pages and her work email and phone number and made a note to talk to Regan about how to approach her.

Kimberly Foster had been privy to the fight between Taylor and Candace, and now two of those three were dead.

He looked again at Candace’s profile. She’d been so optimistic in her rush statement, but then seemed quite different as a senior.
