Chapter Twenty

Piecing through the fragments of someone’s life to determine what may be missing is difficult, especially when you don’t know the owner of the pieces. The police sifted and sorted Matt’s apartment based on what they believed should be there. What may be clues to his disappearance could be right there next to his dirty laundry for all they knew. Nothing stood out and screamed at them, or gave them any indication who had ransacked the place or why, or what they may have been looking for.

“Pretty boring existence,” one officer noted, “not a Playboy in the place.”

Matt Errington appeared, to those who analyzed his belongings, to be a straightforward guy, who led a simple life. But people who fit that description don’t usually piss someone off enough to have their home taken apart, and then disappear for no apparent reason.

It didn’t add up, and the police detective in charge of the case decided he wanted more information from Dr. Nowak.

Eager to learn what happened to Matt, Dr. Nowak was glad the Detective called. “I’ve been waiting to hear what you found. Any sign of Matt?”

“Nothing conclusive yet. There was little to go on, so we checked Matt’s apartment. Found it pretty torn apart. Other than the obvious damage, there was nothing out of the ordinary. No sign of personal violence, no indication he was harmed. You reported he was leaving on vacation. His shaving things and toiletries are gone. Empty hangers in the closet. His apartment was probably ransacked in his absence. Can’t tell if anything was stolen, but a computer and TV were there, and some cash in a drawer. Hard to know what else a guy like that owned. Did you know where he was headed?” the detective asked Dr. Nowak.

“No. He did say at some point he wanted to find a place to live in Washington. He was under a lot of pressure. He’d had some personal health problems, didn’t tell me much, but I know he took a long time to decide to move to Washington and the new position the company offered him.”

Detective George Jorgenson nodded, “Not much to go on. We have no idea where he was headed or if he got back. He could be staying with someone leaving us empty-handed. Without a destination we’re at a dead-end, we don’t have the manpower to search. He could have gone anywhere in so many weeks. The only thing we have to go on is the guy never returned to work when he said he would, and his place was thoroughly demolished. It looks like someone deliberately tore the place apart, but we have no apparent motive.”

Dr. Nowak recognized there was no more anyone could do, but asked the detective to keep him informed anyway.

“I will let you know if we find anything, and just to be certain we haven’t missed something here, I am putting a bulletin out on him throughout the different state agencies, it might generate some information we can use.
