With all three interviews concluded, O’Donovan pondered what to do next. It had been a phenomenally good day for his investigation, and he was pleased with how the questioning had gone. Despite their drug-fuelled lifestyles, the witnesses had been consistent. O’Donovan had been particularly impressed with DeWolfe, who would likely face a hostile reception back in prison for talking. Morrison had seemed reliable too. He had not given a lot of detail, but neither did he seem to be holding anything back.

The only reservation O’Donovan had was about Sarah Holland’s interview. She had confirmed Cormier’s predatory sexual interest in Tina but had not remembered the stolen truck. After Philippot and Francis had finished their interview, O’Donovan sent them back in twice more to ask her about it. Each time, she kept to her story and insisted that she had never seen it. This detail annoyed the detective, who would have preferred that all the accounts of what had happened at 22 Carmen tie up neatly together.

Still, there was enough to start building a case against Raymond Cormier. The next step would be to interview him and record his statement on video. O’Donovan was struck with an uncomfortable sense of both hope and worry: hope that he would get a confession, or at least a story, which would resolve the case, alleviate the crushing public pressure on his team, and fulfill his own desire to find out the truth; worry that Cormier would sit in silence and give them nothing. The detective had known cases where this had happened, and it had been impossible to move them forward. He glanced at the clock. By now it was late afternoon, and Cormier had been sitting alone for nearly two hours. It was time for his detectives to pay him a visit.
