After the police left, we said good night to Bas and Marigny.

“We’ll probably have to answer questions after they get a warrant,” Jiff said to Bas. “You should consider getting Marigny an attorney to represent her in case they push this and want to arrest the two of you, and we don’t find the real killer soon.”

In the car Jiff said, “They didn’t have anything to do with the dog at the shelter or the murder. They have a great big motive for either or both of them killing Whit. The police could arrest them over it in a heartbeat.”

“Like what?” I asked. “The police know Bas and Marigny lied to them.”

“Yes, they lied to the police. But, the police don’t know why. Whit was threatening Marigny to post nude photos he took of Mavis on the internet. He took them or Mavis sent them to him while they were having their affair. Whit threatened Marigny to post her mother’s photos if she didn’t pose for one in exchange.”

“Wait. What? I knew Whit had girly photos…well…porn, actually. He kept it in his bedside table.” I said and hurriedly added when Jiff’s head jerked in my direction, “Claudette told me that. She said he would cut photos out of magazines and keep them in his wallet. I guess he got tired of not knowing them personally.”

“How could Mavis be so…so…naïve?” Jiff asked as if pondering the idea.

“I was going to say, stupid. How could Mavis be so stupid? She doesn’t strike me as a dummy,” I said. “A drinker, yes, but a dimwit, no.”

“Marigny said Whit called her and asked her to come over to show her something. I guess he was drunk, and Justine left so he was looking to spice up his Monday night,” Jiff said.

“He should have turned on Monday Night Football,” I said.

“The season hasn’t started yet,” Jiff said looking flummoxed. “The Super Bowl was two months ago, remember?”

“I watched the Puppy Bowl,” I said. “Are they even at the same time?”

“You like the commercials, I know you do,” he said.

“What? Never mind football. What time was she at Whit’s? Do you remember seeing Marigny hand Mavis something she put in her pocket on the tape? That could have been one of Whit’s nude photos of Mavis. If Marigny got that photo, does that mean she let Whit take a photo of her? If the police check Whit’s computer they will probably find more,” I said.

“Yes, and that’s not all. Marigny said she walked from home to Whit’s house. She had been home studying since four o’clock like Bas told the police. Her Dad wasn’t aware she left until Mavis called him and said she was on her way to the guest house. Mavis told Bas the whole story about the nude photos. That gives him a motive for killing Whit. After Whit tried to get Marigny to pose nude for him in exchange for her Mom’s photos, she ran out pushing the front door open and leaving it like that,” Jiff said.
