CHAPTER

THIRTY-FIVE

Dan was ushered into a room with a steel table and four chairs at police headquarters. Rob was seated with Winston. When he saw Rob, Dan started crying. Rob hugged him tightly, then held out a chair for him.

“Is this an interrogation room?” asked Dan.

“It's an interview room right now,” said Winston calmly. “It's whatever you want to call it. A private place to sit and talk.”

Elba entered with four bottled waters and a notepad. He sat. Winston continued.

“As I explained to your brother, your wife's death is being treated as a homicide.”

“Why?” Dan whispered through his tears. He couldn't stop crying. He didn't try.

“She was found in Lake Anna Park in a flower garden. She had a blanket over her. Someone took time and care to cover her face and body. There were no obvious signs of struggle or anything that would suggest a cause of death.”

Winston leaned forward, “Mr. Ramsay, if your wife hadn't been staged as she was, we'd probably think it was an accident. Heart attack. Embolism. Something natural. An autopsy would still be performed, but homicide is the only choice. Even suicide couldn't have been staged.”

“Suicide?” These guys were nuts.

“I'm speaking hypothetically. What you need to keep in mind is that this is a homicide investigation. Anything you can tell us might be helpful. We have to move fast.”

“I don't care who killed her,” Dan repeated.

Rob gasped audibly.

“I understand that you mean that right now, but you may change your mind. In any case, we're going to investigate. We don't need your permission.” Winston sat back.

Dan nodded. There was nothing to say.

“We'll be interviewing cycling club members,” continued Elba. “They probably had the last contact with her.”

“You brother has given us some background information on Mrs. Ramsay. Her employer, her sponsorship of a sports club at St. Margaret's, and her enthusiasm about competing in an upcoming one hundred mile cycling event. He said she had no religious affiliation.”

Dan nodded.

“Earlier, you said you and Mrs. Ramsay were experiencing marital difficulties. Could you be more specific?”

“Rob said I shouldn't talk to you about Jill because on TV the cops always suspect the spouse.”

“Mr. Ramsay,” said Winston, “we're not in a TV show. God knows, I wish we were. Statistically, it's true. Women are most often killed by someone they know, usually a male—boyfriend, husband, brother, son. You said marital problems. That's a broad topic. Abuse, divorce, separation. Gambling, drugs, alcohol. Mrs. Ramsay may have had a boyfriend or girlfriend, for that matter. We don't know the situation. You do. The faster we can get a handle on this, the more likely we are to find the killer.”

“I don't…”

“Mr. Ramsay, we're investigating the murder of your wife. Now, Detective Elba and I have notified more people of their spouse's death than we care to count. We know people react differently. However, refusal to co-operate with us at the basic level might be considered unusual.”

Rob put his arm around Dan. “Talk to them.”

“It's not that I don't want to co-operate.
