CHAPTER 12

“If you tell me Dixon was piddling around with her, too, I’m going to scream. That woman! Oh! She makes me want to tear her hair out. Next, you’ll tell me she had affairs with everyone in Marshall’s graduating class! I know the boys are at fault, too, but come on. Is she some sort of Lolita?”

Dana relaxed into his chair. “The deeper we look into her past, the more we find. As a for instance, she was married before to a man named Lonnie Lipski. She divorced him years ago, but not before taking his life savings with her. Then she moved on to a man named Arnold Masters. Took his car, a sixty-six Mustang, and his dog, of all things.”

“And shall I take a stab at this and dare suggest all of these men were her senior?” Win inquired.

Dana stabbed his finger in the air. “You got it. She had a brief period of quiet while she lived with her mother until she died, and then she married Frank Epson.”

“Tell me something, Officer Nelson, I remember Marshall saying she lived in an apartment with her mother. Did her mother own the apartment?”

He gave me a knowing grin that I saw clearly in the fading light. “I know where you’re going, Ghost Watcher. Sheena’s mother lived on social security. They lived paycheck to paycheck. Mostly off her mother’s check, if you listen to her neighbor.”

Nodding, I now had a very clear picture of Sheena. “So Marshall was right. She was a grifter, just looking for a new mark. And Frank was it. A place to hang her hat while she did mostly nothing. Was she involved with anyone this neighbor knew of?”

Dana agreed. “Sure seems that way. And nope, Sheena’s mother’s neighbor didn’t see anyone but Sheena. Though, she did say Sheena’s mother told her to mend her flirty ways or she couldn’t move in with her. But we need Frank’s will, if he has one, to see what’s really up. We need to know who he’s leaving his things to.”

“Though,” Win interjected. “Let us keep in mind, if Marshall was working singing engagements to make extra money for what Frank’s insurance didn’t cover, maybe he didn’t have much at all. That means the house, if his mortgage is in a stage where it would be beneficial to sell, could be worth quite a bit, depending on varying factors. The condition of the house, location and so on.”

“That’s a good point,” Hal said. “I can’t believe how expensive it is to live here, or I’d already have a summer home right on the beach.”

“I can arrange that. I’d do so quite happily,” Win offered, and I knew it was due to the fact that he knew it would make me happy.

Hal jumped up from her chair and wrapped her arms around Win’s neck, giving him a hug and a peck on the cheek. “You’re very kind, sir, but I can find a way to buy one on my own, thank you very much.
