CHAPTER 33

KYLIE

Kylie Milliard sat in the conference room beside DA Vogel and across from Sheriff Davis and Gary Ross. Carl Gilbert was at the head of the table—or the foot. From the papers on the table and the notes on the whiteboard, they’d been there awhile. Two columns on the whiteboard, titled Nolan and Jensen, headed up a series of bullet points.

“We thought it would be smart to get our heads together and see where we are on these cases,” Davis said, rubbing his palms together like a caveman starting a fire. “But I think we’re damn close on Jensen.”

Kylie sat up. “Close? Have we gotten lab results on the glass and the fiber back?” The state lab was remarkably efficient, but a two-day turnaround would be unusual.

“Not yet,” Gilbert said. “Their office said it would be late next week at the soonest. Even later for the official autopsy report.”

“Then how are we close?” she asked.

Vogel smiled. “We’ll get to that. Why don’t you start us off?”

Davis wasn’t one to get excited over nothing. Still, she’d play it their way.

“I emailed you about Jenna Hitchcock, the third victim,” she said. “Pete McIntosh, the deputy sheriff over in Glendive, will keep us apprised if they discover anything at the scene there, but so far there’s nothing to help us identify a suspect.”

Vogel made a note and nodded.

Kylie updated them on the Alvin Tanner footage.

“That’s good thinking, Milliard,” Davis said. “Have you got the footage yet?”

Kylie checked her email on her phone and sighed. “No. Tanner hasn’t sent it yet.” She’d thought she’d scared him enough to comply.

“Well, let’s follow up with him,” Davis said.

“I can do it,” Gilbert offered.

“I—” Kylie started to say she would do it. But it turned out maybe Tanner wasn’t going to deal with a woman after all.

“Do you have any other leads?” Davis asked Kylie.

“I do. I found out Sarah Ollman was in Skål the night that Jensen was killed. She took some pictures.”

“Sarah Ollman?” Vogel asked.

Kylie nodded. “Pastor Ollman’s seventeen-year-old daughter.”

Sheriff Davis frowned. “How the hell did she get into the bar?”

“That’s a question we need to ask Iver Larson.”

“She took pictures?” Vogel asked, sitting up in his chair with some effort.

“Yes. And I should have them any minute.” As though Sarah Ollman had been listening, an email popped into her inbox. “I’ve just got them now.”

“Let’s have a look,” Davis said. “Can you bring them up on your computer?”

“Sure.” She opened her computer screen as a text buzzed on her phone. Amber. Did u no Lily B. @ hosp Thurs am. Lkd like had accdnt.

“What is it?” Davis asked.

Kylie took a moment to decipher Amber’s code. “Nothing,” she lied and put the phone in her pocket, the heat rising in her face. She had believed Lily Baker when she’d said she hadn’t been with Brent Nolan the night he’d died. But Baker had been at the hospital Thursday morning, looking like she’d been in an accident. Was she in the same accident as Brent Nolan? Surely, if she’d gone off the overpass, she’d be in way worse shape than she was.
