Chapter 13

Thursday, August 27 at 2:22 p.m.

Two days had passed since the interview with Matt, and Jo still was disgusted. Her mood about the case clung to her and only worsened when she got home. She couldn’t even look at Bryan. The details of this case were working her last nerve.

Jo tried to switch her thinking around and put herself in their shoes. Matt had just turned twenty-three years old and Laura was twenty-one. Jo tried to think about their ages and the fact that they were both young and together for so long. Her mind still kept asking the question, was no one really into having a fully committed relationship anymore? Was marriage just something a couple did, and when things became difficult, it was time to look elsewhere? What a joke!

Jo wasn’t laughing. Her life as it once was three weeks ago had turned upside down. She didn’t know what to do at home, and this case was moving at a snail’s pace. If Matt couldn’t prove where he was that night, both she and Pete wanted to arrest him though having a motive clearly wasn’t enough reason. They’d at least finally received the search warrant early Thursday morning.

Matt had only been living at the Greater Hills Apartment for three weeks. From Jo’s walk through earlier, she found boxes still piled up in a second bedroom that Matt had not finished unpacking. The living room and master bedroom were fully furnished. The bedroom had clothes scattered everywhere as if Matt took off his work clothes and left them where they hit the floor. The kitchen had pizza boxes and Chinese take-out spilling out of a trash can in the corner.

The living room was the most orderly room. Almost too orderly compared to the rest of the apartment. Jo moved past CSI as they dusted for prints in the living room. She looked out the window of the second floor apartment. When they turned into the apartment complex, Jo noticed that Pine Woods Park Apartments where Laura’s body was found was not that far away. If they traveled down the road another mile, they would arrive at the crime scene.

Jo was still bothered by the closeness. She turned around and looked at the apartment. They needed to know if the original crime scene took place in Matt’s apartment. Was it possible Laura realized she should make up with Matt even after she broke off the engagement? Whatever was going through Laura’s mind about this new guy, did she still want to plan her perfect wedding? If Laura did come to see Matt that night, Jo tried to think about how Matt would have carried Laura’s body out of the apartment. He would have had to make a lot of noise trying to carry or drag her down the flight of stairs.

Beige-colored carpeting was wall-to-wall in the entire apartment. There were no signs of the burgundy-colored fibers that were found on and around Laura. That didn’t mean Matt hadn’t owned a rug.
