Les looked over to Olivia. She was still sitting there at the table, with her hands on the file.

“So, he did go to someplace, Knockers, or at least maybe he did. That’s something.”

“Yeah, but I’ve a feeling, because it was so long ago, that no one will remember and no security footage. I’ll still check that out.” She said.

“What do you think about Patterson’s relationship with his wife and son?” Les asked, chewing on the end of his pen.

“I find that it falls into line with Mr. Peach, and Mr. Clermont. I think we may have found our pattern, Les.” She smiled.

“Holy shit. Oh, man, that’s great. Will you have Detective Littleton and Detective Brightwater ask about that?”

“I sure will. If all the victims were abusive to their families, this is the common thread that binds them all. I think we should extend our investigation to the neighbors living next door to each of the homes. I’m sure the neighbors have heard something going on. Most do.”

“Oh, I can’t believe it. This is fantastic!” Les crowed happily.

“Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That may well be the motive for the killings, but who is witnessing these incidents? Your theory about a delivery person, that might fit this bill.” She grinned at him.

Les grinned back. He was so excited. For him, this was a big victory. They now had the reason behind the killings. Or at least a very good possible motive. He was proud of himself for thinking of the delivery person. That would really fit. They were all mobile, driving all over the city. They went up to people’s homes and they could hear what was going on in the house. It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. It was a hell of a lot more plausible than the killer for hire idea he’d had.

He wanted to jump for joy. He saw that Olivia’s face was also glowing with happiness. It was another piece of the puzzle. A very good piece. He walked to the door and opened it. They’d go interview the last man, Jackson May. He stood aside as she left to room and he followed her. Then a thought hit him and he stopped her in the hall.

“I just had a horrible thought Olivia. What if the killer is a cop? What if he had access to domestic abuse cases or calls? You’ve not found any evidence as far as DNA, prints or anything. What happens, and I hate saying it, if it is a cop? He’d know how to cover his tracks.”

Olivia stopped and stared at him, open mouthed.

“Jesus Christ, I never thought of that. Oh, holy shit. You might have something there. The police and detectives have training all the time, on what to look for at a crime scene. If it were an officer, they’d know first hand how to cover up things. Jesus Les. I’ll let both Brightwater and Littleton know as well. This is really important Les. You can’t mention it to anyone else, not even in writing.
