Dave leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. It was late, and silence replaced the normal hum of voices. With budget cuts, officers out sick, and now these new cases, he was scrambling to have the county covered. At least the state crime lab completed their work on the McCandless farm and released the scene, so the officer directing traffic could be reassigned.

Once Gwen brought him the sketch of the Jane Doe in the pasture, he’d get Craig to check out missing persons and maybe release the drawing to the press.

He glanced at the program on his computer screen. Dre would be putting in for overtime, Gwen needed to be paid, and he’d need to bring in everyone to work on that torchlight parade, so his budget was already in the toilet, and it was only mid-April.

He could have an open hunting season if the autopsy proved wolves killed that girl. He already had a serial killer preying on women. It could be coincidence, but Dave didn’t really believe in coincidences.

Pinching away the looming headache, he reached for his pen. A delicate, rose-decorated cup of cooling tea rested beside his elbow. He shoved it away.

Gwen thought Wes was the culprit in throwing his cell phone into the bushes so he could take over the forensic work on the McCandless farm murders. He wrote Call Jeannie and reporter on the yellow legal pad in front of him.

The phone rang.

“Dre here. Just finished up with the body in the field. Gwen was right about her smacking into the barbed-wire fence. We found some torn material down a bit from the body.”

Dave jotted a note. “I’ll call Search and Rescue first thing in the morning to see if they can get a hound to track her route.”

“Good luck on that. We just had a real frogwash of a rain.”

“We’ll at least give it a try. Go on home and get some sleep.”

“You too.”
