  61. Excerpt

Instead of going back into the building, Young walked around the side to where employees parked. A minute later, he left the lot, heading in the same direction as Rachel.

Well, that was interesting.

Rachel was dating the lead investigator in Candace Swain’s murder. Was that a conflict?

Maybe. Maybe not. Yet, it rubbed Regan the wrong way. It wasn’t that Young should have said he was dating the sorority’s advisor... It just felt like a conflict.

“What does this mean?” Lucas said.

“I don’t know. But I need to think about how we approach Young. Maybe not tonight.”

“I trust you, Regan. Whatever you think is best.”

She wished she knew, because something wasn’t adding up.

“Let’s talk to Kimberly Foster.”

Lucas glanced at her sheepishly.

“What?” she pushed.

“I left a message for her. She hasn’t called me back.”

“Okay. Let’s try again. This time, tell her we have a witness to the argument between Taylor and Candace, we know that she was there, and the argument wasn’t solely about Joseph Abernathy. Call us back, or we’re going to bring the witness on the podcast.”

“Are we?”

“No—unless Alexa calls in, which I doubt. She’ll be listening, especially after we confronted her today. She has my card. I’m hoping she’ll call me. If we can figure out who Candace visited that weekend, anyone can. She’s going to realize that. Fear might convince her to talk when in the past it had her remain silent.”

“You’re smarter than average. Maybe no one else will put it together.”

“We can’t assume that no one else can figure it out, especially after the podcast tonight. And neither can Alexa. She knows what Candace planned to do when she disappeared. If we have that information, we might learn who had cause to kill her.”

“How are you going to get Alexa to talk? To either call in or call you?”

“She needs to feel safe enough to trust me,” Regan said. “Perhaps I could talk on the podcast tonight about witness protection or tells stories of people who stepped up to do the right thing even though it put them and their family in danger, and what the US Marshals Service does to help them.”

“Like, put Alexa into witness protection?”

“I don’t know if that would be an option. It depends on what she knows and how much physical danger she would be in if she were needed to testify.”
