Alyssa’s head snapped back in surprise. ‘How did you hear that?’
‘I have my ways. Suffice it to say that it doesn’t look too good for Mr. Yarmini, does it?’
Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she logged into her email where she found a new message from Advanced Technology Securities. She opened the message and clicked on the link before pushing the laptop over to Hal. ‘Can you project this onto the wall?’
A few quick taps later, the information was displayed across the room for everyone to see. And then suddenly GPS coordinates scrolled down the page, dates and times stamped beside each. She pointed to Joe. ‘Start with May 20, and confirm that those coordinates match the location of Hotel Camino.
‘Hal, figure out which of these coincide with Yarmini’s residence in the foothills.’ Scanning the screen, she tapped one of the coordinates and said, ‘Start with this one since it seems to show up more frequently than any others. Cord, Tony, go back to the earliest date and start jotting down all the locations. If anything seems “remote,” flag it. That could be where the girls are.’
She’d forgotten Rosenfelt was still on the phone that was pressed to her ear until he said, ‘Detective, I’m not sure what else I can do, so I’m going to hang up now. If you need me for anything else, you have my number. In the meantime, I’m staying at Hotel Parq Central.’
Absently, Alyssa thanked the multi-billionaire, trying her best not to let frustration build as she waited for the coordinates to produce anything that might tell her where the girls were. Several minutes after Rosenfelt hung up, Cord said, ‘None of the data from the April dates show that the Dodge Viper made a trip into Santa Fe where Meghan was kidnapped – which could mean that he wasn’t involved with her kidnapping, or simply that he used another car.’
‘Or that she wasn’t in Santa Fe when she was taken. Does anything place the Viper near the area around her step-grandfather’s house?’
Suddenly, Joe piped up, excitement in his voice. ‘Pay dirt! On Monday, May 20, at three minutes before midnight, the Dodge Viper was at Hotel Camino. Ninety-eight minutes later, he stopped at Central and Louisiana where Meghan Jessup’s body was discarded. Thursday, May 23, at 5:43 p.m., the tracker places the vehicle at the end of Rainbow in Rio Rancho.’ He looked up from his phone. ‘And the tracking ends there.’
Instead of her frustration and impatience leveling off, Alyssa was more aggravated. ‘That doesn’t tell us where Meghan Jessup has been all this time. It tells us where she was just before her body was dumped…’ She spoke out loud, but she was talking mainly to herself as she tried to work out the puzzle.
Cord cleared his throat before speaking, and all eyes cut his way. ‘None of this explains why Meghan Jessup would have the Rosenfelt Holdings logo branded on her body – unless Bartholomew Rosenfelt is somehow involved and trying to throw us off by pretending to help?’
