Amy Jackson had tried to reach Helen Johnson’s doctor on Friday before leaving work. The doctor was not available. She explained to the nurse who she was, and that she was looking for next-of-kin contact information for Helen Johnson. The nurse said she would talk to the doctor and then email the information to Jackson. The email from Alina Health was in Jackson’s inbox on Saturday afternoon.

There were two contacts listed, Fran Naulty and Dan Bishop. Phone numbers and emails were provided. Jackson tried Dan Bishop, getting no answer, and left a message. Her next call was to Fran Naulty.

“Hello?” A woman’s voice.

“This is Officer Amy Jackson from the Duluth Police Department. I’m trying to reach Fran Naulty.”

“This is Fran Naulty.”

“Are you the sister of Helen Johnson?”

“Yes.”

“Mrs. Naulty, I am sorry to tell you that your sister was found dead on Thursday.”

She had barely finished her statement when Jackson heard a shrill scream, and then a bang. “Mrs. Naulty?” she said. “Mrs. Naulty?” She could hear another voice now and then a man came on the line.

“Who is this?”

Jackson identified herself again and asked who she was speaking to.

“Bill Naulty. I’m Fran’s husband. What did you say to her?”

“I’m sorry if I upset her, Mr. Naulty. I needed to let her know that her sister Helen Johnson has passed away.” There was no response from Bill Naulty but Jackson could hear wailing in the background. “Mr. Naulty?”

“Oh my God. Oh no. Not more.”

“More?”

“I’m sorry. I have to go.”

Jackson stared at her phone before slowly hanging it up. Bill Naulty’s words stuck with her the remainder of Saturday and Sunday. She considered calling him back to ask what he meant by “more” but decided against it. And there was something else. The name Dan Bishop seemed familiar.

Jackson got out of her cube and walked to Les Berger’s office Monday morning, knocking on the open door.

Berger had arrived minutes before, and was sitting behind his desk. He looked up from his phone. “Jackson. What do you know?”

She walked to his desk and placed a sheet of paper in front of him. “This is interesting,” she said, finger on the sheet. “Helen Johnson listed Fran Naulty and Dan Bishop as contacts with her doctor.”

Berger picked up the sheet. “Yeah?”

“I called Fran Naulty Saturday to notify her of Helen Johnson’s death and the woman freaked. Dropped the phone. Her husband picked the phone up, and when I told him what I told his wife, he said, “Not more,” and hung up.”

“Not more?”

“Yeah. It kind of bothered me, and then I thought the name of the other contact sounded familiar. I did some searching and found Dan Bishop and his wife were shot dead last week in Two Harbors.”

Berger finished reading the news story Jackson had printed. “You sure about this?”

“Yup. It’s her brother. Checked the address.”

“Wow.” Berger looked at the report again and then up at Jackson. “Two Harbors. That’s Lake County. You call the sheriff’s office there yet?”

“Just going to do that.”

“Don’t bother, I’ll call.
