Other than a vacant motel on the edge of town that would have been right at home in a movie like Psycho, there was only one hotel option in Grande Isle. It was the Best Western right off of Highway 23. I pulled in and saw two SUVs each with a boat behind them big enough to go out on Lake Huron.

The hotel had a sign that proclaimed all-you-can-eat breakfast with HBO.

I checked in, brought one bag along with my computer gear up to my room and dropped it on the bed. The room was clean but the floor seemed to sag under my weight. I’m not a huge guy so it spoke more to the quality of the builder.

From my window, I could see Lake Huron. Long gray clouds hovered above the horizon and a few seagulls hovered over the marina, probably hoping to catch some scraps from the salmon fishermen.

Down in the dining room I ordered a steak with fries and a beer. The view through the giant picture windows was magnificent and I had another beer. There were stuffed animals on the walls along with some trophy fish.

The waitress approached my table. She was chubby and tired and in another time I might've thought of ways to cheer her up including things done after hours but I was anxious to see what I could find out with some internet research.

So I ate my rubbery steak and undercooked fries, left a very nice tip for the waitress and went up to my room. I connected to the Wi-Fi and used my encrypted laptop which sends any request for IP addresses bouncing around Europe for a while.

Casey and Kelsey’s father was a man named Curtis Redville. After a cursory search on public databases didn’t turn up much I launched my more thorough programs.

There was an additional account with another name that allowed me to enter the Federal Bureau of Prisons and it was there that I began to collect the first credible information regarding his current location.

It turned out he’d been released from prison two years ago, in stark contrast to what I’d been told about him being in lockup in California.

However, the database wasn’t able to cough up any present address or last known location.

Since I was on the road I decided to send a quick email to one of my contractors who specialized in computer locations and who I knew had access to nearly every parole office in the country. I figured that would be my best bet.

I submitted my request and went to bed.

Someone in this town knew where Casey Bennett was. It was only a matter of time before I did, too.
