“No cause of death?”

“Not yet,” Theo stated as he took a seat at the conference room table. Everyone on the team was in attendance with the exception of Kate. She’d already been on the phone for a good half an hour in regard to the Rastini case. “It took them two days, but they were able to excavate three of the four remains. They’ve been examined, and we have preliminary results. It could be days before we receive the toxicology reports.”

“Have identifications been made?”

Brook continued to read over the notes that Theo had inserted into their files. She slowly scrolled up on the display of her tablet so that she could read over the findings.

“Again, three out of the four,” Sylvie replied as she wrapped the string of her teabag around her index finger. Bit also happened to have a cup of tea in front of him. “Natalie Thorne, Laura Keery, and Andrea Firth. Detective Raines is in the process of notifying the families.”

Brook sipped her coffee as she skimmed the photographs that Bit had managed to produce from an online search.

All the victims had been brunettes.

Considering Millie had made mention that Dr. Kolsby had said she reminded him of someone who he’d allegedly killed, the fact that the three victims had been brunette didn’t come as a shock. Brook had spent last night drafting her profile, but she’d run into a few bumps along the way. Unfortunately, those hesitations were due to Dr. Kolsby’s so-called confession in the hospital and Dr. Cranston posing as some sort of tour guide.

“Give us the run down, Sylvie,” Brook instructed as she turned her chair so that she could see the large 4k monitor. “Theo, jump in when necessary.”

“Andrea Firth went missing two and a half years ago.” Sylvie paused long enough to take a sip of her tea before diving into the heart of the data. “She was twenty-three years old, and she worked as a phlebotomist at the hospital. Single, brunette, and lived with a roommate.”

“I already have a meeting scheduled with the roommate for later this morning,” Theo interjected.

“Natalie Thorne went missing two years ago,” Sylvie continued, keeping the same format to make things easier. “She was a twenty-nine-year-old lab technician. Brunette, and she lived alone.”

“The only thing we know so far is that she was involved with Dr. Cranston at the time that she went missing,” Theo tacked on. “He was technically cleared of any wrongdoing due to his alibi. I’ll start diving into the lives of the other victims today.”

“Laura Keery went missing nine months ago. Twenty-two years old.” Sylvie paused as they all studied the young woman’s photograph. “Laura was a nursing student who was interning at the hospital. Single, brunette, and still lived at home with her mother. Father wasn’t in the picture.”

“When you say that Miss Keery was interning at the hospital, was her internship in the cardiac unit?”

“No,” Sylvie replied as she reached for her tea. Brook spun her chair around so that she was once again facing the others.
