CHAPTER 8

Memphis Police Department

9 AM, September 16th

Detective Jones sat in his chair at the Memphis police department, and opposite him was Peyton, who held a cup in his hand. Jones had Justine Gray’s autopsy report in front of him, and he was going through the report with a frown on his face. The report indicated that Justine Gray had died from blood loss and kidney rupture caused by three gunshots to her stomach. The autopsy placed the time of death between 7 PM to 8 PM last night. Immediately after Jones and Peyton left the crime scene the previous day, they had returned to the office, and they logged into the system and pulled up everything they could find on Justine Gray. Justine Gray was a 28-year-old Caucasian with blonde hair, from California. She had no record of arrest, and there wasn’t even a parking ticket to her name. The police database didn’t contain any information that could assist Jones in unraveling Justine’s murder.

Peyton had carried out a deep Internet dive into Justine’s private life, her relationships, and her career, but all he found was from after the time when she had become moderately famous. Peyton was able to find an interview Justine had granted one of the magazines she had been on the cover. In the interview, she disclosed that she grew up in foster care in California, and she had no idea who her parents were. She disclosed that she had difficulty fitting in with foster families; hence, she grew up in a foster home with other kids who were in the system. According to the interview, she had rebelled at the age of 16 and left the foster family she had been placed with. After leaving foster care, she went on to work as a waitress, and during that time she slept in the storeroom of the restaurant. It was while she was working as a waitress that she was discovered by a talent scout, and she later went on to become a model. Justine had a spell as a swimsuit model, and during that time, she became famous and appeared in many television interviews and some reality TV shows. During Peyton’s search, he found out that she had dated quite a few celebrities, the last being Spencer Carter, who played for the Memphis Grizzlies. Neither the Internet nor the police database supplied Jones and Peyton with any tangible information that might give them a lead on the murder, and they were both hoping that the autopsy report would be more useful.

“This report doesn’t contain anything useful,” Jones said as he handed the autopsy report to Peyton.

“Has the bullet casing retrieved at the crime scene been run through the system yet?” Peyton dropped the report on the table and took a sip of his coffee. “Perhaps forensics might be able to trace the gun to a bullet registered under a name in the system.”

Jones scratched his head. “If only those sons of bitches would send the report
