CHAPTER 32

Logan Pitre’s eyes were naturally squinty, but they were mere slits as he sat on the opposite side of the interview table from Susan and me. His face was flushed and beads of sweat had broken out on his face. All of this, and I hadn’t even asked him one question yet.

“I don’t understand why I’m here,” he said as he watched me fill out the Miranda Rights form on the desk in front of me.

I didn’t respond. I simply continued filling out the form and then began reciting his rights to him. When I asked if he understood, he answered affirmatively. He did the same when I asked if he was willing to talk to me without a lawyer being present. After he had signed the form and Susan had witnessed it, I affixed my signature and slid it to the side.

“Okay, Logan, please go ahead and tell me everything that happened Friday night,” I said, “beginning with when your sleep was disturbed.”

“Um, you mean about seeing Ty in the road?”

“Yep.”

“Okay, but I already told you everything I knew about it.”

I indicated the camera on the wall in the corner. “We’re on the record this time,” I explained. “So, pretend I know absolutely nothing about what you said before.”

He swallowed and began to recount the events of Friday night. It was almost word-for-word what he had told me Sunday evening when I’d first questioned him. I asked some probing questions, but he didn’t change his story and didn’t remember more than he had already relayed.

“Okay, now I’d like you to tell me about Saturday night,” I said casually, “beginning when you were awakened by the noise from next door.”

He opened his mouth, but then quickly clamped it shut. “But that was Friday night,” he said. “The noise woke me up on Friday night. I remember it clearly, because the next morning was Saturday.”

“You already told us about Friday night,” I said dismissively. “I want to know about Saturday night.”

He stared at me with a blank expression on his face.

“Do you not understand the language I’m speaking?” I asked, leaning forward. “Tell me about how you woke up in the middle of the night on Saturday because of the noise that Ty was making.”

He laughed nervously and glanced quickly at Susan. “I don’t know what he’s talking about.”

“Don’t look at me,” Susan said curtly. “Look at the man who’s talking to you.”

“Do I need to repeat the question?”

Logan swallowed. “I…I understand what you’re asking me, but I didn’t hear any noise on Saturday night. It was Friday night that I went out to get my phone from my truck. That’s when I heard Ty talking from the middle of the road—”

“You already said all of that.” I waved a hand. “I’m not interested in Friday night anymore. We’re beyond that. I want to know what happened Saturday night.”

“But I told you, I…I didn’t hear anything Saturday night. I got up to use the bathroom—it might’ve been twice—but I didn’t hear anything when I got up.
