Chapter 764 Stolen Cars and New Suspects
Thanks to the state police for protecting the scene very well. Of course, it has something to do with the lack of people nearby. It’s just a pain for the researchers at the CSI Laboratory. They need to follow the times a little bit. On and off, drag marks hundreds of meters long were searched for possible evidence.
Although this kind of forest is not considered a virgin forest, it is still at the level of natural secondary forest, and the ecosystem has been basically restored.
In the hot summer, although the temperature in the woods is much lower than that on the asphalt road because it is close to the lake, the smell of humus formed by fallen leaves in the hot and humid environment is really unflattering. .
If the murderer hadn’t mistakenly chosen a path trodden by fishing men, and one of the fishing men happened to be a policeman, and was keenly aware of something wrong out of professional habits, his purpose of dumping the body would probably have been achieved. .
This kind of wetland forest full of mosquitoes, snakes, and rats is not a campsite that young people would choose. They are more likely to be seduced by Internet water ghosts to set up tents in the river downstream of the reservoir.
Leaving the scene to Mike Taylor and his people, Jack and his team returned to the operations center. Unexpectedly, the road monitoring and screening this time went unexpectedly smoothly. When everyone walked into the big office, Jubal was talking to A technician huddles over a computer to identify a car's license plate.
"Have you found anything?" Jack glanced at the big screen. The identity of the latest victim has been confirmed, Maria Elena Ramos, just 20 years old, also married. .
“A Toyota Sienna SUV, which we photographed at an entrance to Central Park on the night Beatrice Santos disappeared, the scene from where you came back last night The picture captured by the surveillance camera at an intersection 3 miles away should be the same car."
The technician said and put the two pictures on the big screen, "There is too much mud on the license plate. The murderer probably made it deliberately. Going up, we just barely made out three numbers.”
The printer squeaked as he spoke, and Jubal eagerly took the printed A4 paper and handed it to Jack.
“There was an RV that fit this description in the small town west of Northern Westchester, but it was reported missing four months ago, shortly before the first case occurred. The owner was named Pete Delay. Ang."
Jack took the information and glanced at it. He raised his head just in time to meet Aubrey's expectant eyes. He simply stuffed it into his hand and said, "Then leave it to you and Hannah. "
Not long after he returned to the office, Jiejie knocked on the door, "We also found the name of the latest victim on the chat website, and the CSI has already transported the body back. The forensic laboratory also found no wedding ring on the corpse’s finger.”
“So, we can basically conclude that the murderer found the victim through that website, and the IT department’s verification of those IP addresses has results. Already?" Jack asked.
"Not yet. Obviously, because someone abducted their goddess, the otakus are a little less motivated." Jiejie smiled with some evil intentions.
Is that single mother Alice so attractive? Jack scratched his head speechlessly, "Tell them that Alice will be back in a month, and there will be a party then. I will ask Aubrey to call all the models and celebrities he knows."
"Okay." Jiejie secretly glanced outside, and the smile on her face became brighter, "Do you and Jubal have any secrets that you are hiding from us?"
"Ah. ? No, I’ve told you and Hannah everything I can.”
Whether it’s Hannah or Jie Jie, Jack has nothing to hide, and the reason why Jubal reopened the old case is related to them. He had already explained that there were only some personal privacy matters that he did not reveal, such as extramarital affairs.
Hearing this, he walked to the door with some doubts, leaned out half of his body and cast his eyes on the corridor.
From his angle, he could only see the back of a strange woman, who was walking towards Jubal quickly and menacingly.
"Her name is Rena Trenholm, she is the detective in charge of the Newark office." Jiejie made a fist and pointed in the direction of the woman with her thumb. "We just met at the elevator entrance. She said she was here to see Jubal. The two were once partners, but her expression didn't look like she was here to catch up with an old friend."
It's not like old lovers are getting together again. Jack murmured in his heart. He probably guessed the reason why this person appeared here. He probably came to ask Jubal why he wanted to reopen the old case.
Jubal mentioned before that he and his partner were handling the case together. If something went wrong, the result would naturally be that both of them would have to suffer.
There are some things that cannot be faced calmly if you have no worries. What's more, Jubal also mentioned before that this old partner is now seeking an important position. Of course, you must be careful at this juncture. careful.
From Rena Trenholm's point of view, what Jubal did was somewhat suspected of stabbing her in the back. There was no need to eat this kind of melon. Jack simply explained it to Jie Jie. Because of this, the two of them went about their business.
When Aubrey and Hannah came back, everyone met again. At this time, Rena Trenholm had left, but Jubal's face was still a little bad.
The owner of the stolen Toyota Sienna SUV, Pete DeLeon, was a volunteer at a children’s hospital in western North Westchester. He was a very friendly man who met Aubrey and Hannah. At that time, I thought my car had been found.
He failed to provide any useful information. According to him, he was also responsible for the car being stolen. He should have forgotten to take out the key when he got off the car when he got home.
But out of caution, Aubrey and Hannah also got the contact information of his neighbor and went to the trouble of paying him a visit.
“We also visited two other neighbors nearby, and they all said that he was a good man, and all his conditions were confirmed, including that he was sick when he was a child, uh, it was leukemia.
Oh, this should also be the reason why he volunteers at the Children's Hospital. In addition, he injured his back at work two years ago. We have confirmed this and there is nothing suspicious about it."
It can be seen. Aubrey was very interested in this case and wanted to show off.
"Send his license plate number to the state police so they can notify us as soon as they find out." Jack ordered.
"So, our only hope now is that chat website. Have the IP addresses of those visitors been verified?" Jubal asked Jiejie, who was in charge of this matter.
Jiejie projected a file onto the big screen, "There is currently a suspicious target, Kenneth Sigbee, 28 years old, who runs a cafe in the suburbs of northern Westchester and whose address is On the second floor of the cafe, he has no criminal record and is married.”
“Married?” Hannah felt a little strange, “Why would a married person visit the ‘Involuntarily Single’ group to keep warm? Website? Is it just to find a target? "
"Who knows, it may be a target worthy of investigation." Jack looked at everyone, "You need to conduct as much detail as possible before asking him to come back. Investigate.
There are also DNA test results from the CSI experiment. I heard that their latest testing equipment can get preliminary results in as fast as 4 hours, so someone needs to keep an eye on them. ”
