Chapter Eighteen

“So, you didn’t check any of the references provided on the application form?”

“Yes, Captain Hennessey, that’s right,” the voice on the other end of the phone responded. “We needed someone right away and he had the experience so we hired him.”

“Haven’t been disappointed either. He’s been a good employee,” the personnel director, Mr. Cane, added somewhat defensively.

Marvin rubbed his forehead, trying to prevent the headache that was forming from becoming any worse. “So, you wouldn’t know if he mentioned this Claire Dungarven to you personally. Or, do you ever overhear him talking about her?

“Nope, can’t say I do. Of course, he isn’t in the office much. I don’t get many opportunities to talk to him. Plus,” he added, “He’s not much of a talker, pretty much a loner, doesn’t have many friends that I know of.”

“Any family?”

“No…,” Mr. Cane paused as if considering whether to bring something up or not, then he continued, “He used to bring up his wives, but now that they are both gone, he doesn’t talk about family.”

Marvin grasped the phone tighter; a breath caught in his throat. “What do you mean his wives?” The knuckles on his right hand grew whiter as he increased his hold on the receiver. “His wife, Libby Newman, disappeared four years ago but she was his only wife.”

Surprised, Mr. Cane responded, “Didn’t you know he was married before? I always thought it was strange that a man could lose two wives in the same way.”

Chief felt his heart skip a beat as he asked, “He lost two wives in the same way?”

“They both disappeared; he told me. Up and left him. I kinda’ felt sorry for him; some of the other guys did too when I told them, but he didn’t mention it again. It was like he regretted telling me. Guess he felt embarrassed that two women would leave him like that.”

Marvin interrupted him, “Mr. Cane, I think we need to talk in person. Could I come and see you?”

“You mean now?”

“Yes, the sooner the better,” Chief Hennessey replied, hanging up the phone.
