“Something stuck with me,” I said, “about what Ben said at the bakery.”

“Ja? What?” Hentie had grabbed us both mugs of hot chocolate from the kitchen, much to Niles’ eternal unhappiness, and she placed mine on the coffee table in front of me.

We were set up in the enclosed porch at the back of the inn again, with the snowy trees for company, as well as Barkington, who was sleeping on an armchair next to mine. The inn’s cat, Kerfuffle, had poked her flat pale face through the door, taken one look at us, and pranced off with her tail in the air, most unimpressed.

“Ben said that he’d been dealing with Juniper for over twenty years. What do you think that means?” I asked. “They haven’t been married for twenty years, surely. They looked around their forties or so?”

“They must have known each other way back. Maybe in high school?” Hentie sat down and brought out her phone. “There’s a way to find out.” And off she went, searching and tapping away on her phone.

The Victims of The Cakeville Killer: What Did They Have in Common?

Speculation has always surrounded the deaths in the Halloween Killer case in Cakeville, with many local citizens blaming them on those close to the victims or throwing suspicion on local law enforcement. The silence from the Casey County Sheriff’s Department has been deafening, with Sheriff Stone refusing to comment on the deaths on account of it being an ongoing investigation.

With mystery swirling around the cases, it’s worth taking a look at who the victims were, in an effort to discover what they might have in common, and how the Halloween Killer may have been identifying their victims.

The skin on the back of my neck prickled. There was something here that had brought that on. I reread the passage, but nothing jumped out at me immediately.

Belinda O’Toole, the first victim, was a grocery store clerk who had a sharp tongue but plenty of friends, as well as a boyfriend. She was an active member of society, but had gotten into arguments with townsfolk before her death, most of it surrounding the ownership of bakeries in Baker’s Row. As a descendant of one the original cranberry farmers of the town, she lost everything when the last farm shut down. She was last seen at a Halloween party on the night before Halloween at around 11:00 p.m., according to sources close to the case.

Gerald Stone, a librarian who threw stones at local children for making too much noise, had come from out of town and settled in Cakeville with his family in the 1980s. He was male, older, and was known for giving leeway with library fines. While he was grumpy about noise, he was kind to those who patronized the library. He didn’t have any enemies and kept mostly to himself.

The most recent victims Bennie and Robert McCall, were brothers
