“I suspect it’d been the perfect place to take her” Zach strode toward the bedroom “No one would see him here or even know the house existed”

“Well, we know one thing,” I said “She sure as heck loved him with all her heart”

Kipp’s eyebrow arched “What makes you say that?”

I spied a large spider orked on his web in the corner of the ceiling “Because no woman would come to a place like this unless she loved him”

“Maybe it’d been the only option Obviously, he wanted to keep their relationship private,” Zach called out from the bedroom

“Private is one thing” I griy is so else entirely”

Kipp inclined his head in agreement

“Co”

I rushed into the bedroom only to encounter a complete mess Vodka, whisky, just an obscene amount of empty alcohol bottles littered the floor around the bed while tissues were scattered about

Zach glanced over his shoulder “Appears that so a bit of remorse for what he’s done”

“Ya think?” I retorted “Jesus, he’s drowning himself in booze”

Zach reached into his pocket, pulling out a pen and a paper bag He lifted one of the bottles and placed it inside the bag, as well as a tissue “I’ll get this to the lab to see if they can lift any prints or obtain a DNA saht be the break in the case we need”

I’d seen this on television, so the revelation ood, DNA found means case closed”

Zach sealed up the bag “You shouldn’t believe what you see on TV” He shook his head as if it annoyed hihts went there “It takes weeks—soet a DNA sample confirmed Then who’s to say we have the sample on file to match it to the suspect?”

“We will if it is a cop,” Kipp said
