Penton’s mother had moved out several years earlier, and another woman answered the door when the detectives dropped by. Sweet said that they were there to search the attic and explained why. “You go right ahead,” she agreed.

Phillips, Myers, and Sweet went up into the attic while Bradshaw talked to the homeowner. Oddly enough, the woman’s husband was in a back room watching television and never put in an appearance, even with three large men crawling around in his attic, pulling up the floorboards.

The woman told Bradshaw that she and her husband had heard rumors about David Penton and knew he’d lived there once. He decided to canvass the neighborhood to see if he could find anyone else who remembered the killer who’d lived among them.

At one point, the three detectives decided to take a break and came downstairs to find Bradshaw talking to a very pretty young woman and the older woman with her. During the conversation in the prison, Sunnycalb said that Penton told him that he’d lusted after a young Catholic school girl who lived on the same street as his mother’s house. Bradshaw now introduced the visitors as that girl, now grown up, and her mother.

Both women said they thought Penton was “creepy” back then. “I told her,” the older woman said, nodding towards her daughter, “to never be alone with him.”

“She didn’t have to,” the younger woman added, “even as a kid I knew he was bad news.”

The search of the attic took several hours. Finally, Phillips got down on his knees and reached under one of the floorboards. He pulled his hand back and held up what appeared to be just rags; however, they’d been neatly tied together with a piece of yarn that indicated there might be something inside. There wasn’t, but they could see stains on the cloth and confiscated them. The rags were given to Bradshaw and Phillips, who were flying out the next day, to take to a DNA analysis laboratory in Dallas.
