Harbin’s Auto Repair, 10:10 am

Darren Harbin, the owner of the shop, agreed to lend Jess the employee break room for questioning Slade Evans.

Evans was forty, tall, and broad shouldered. Evidently, he enjoyed showing off how much time he spent working out since he wore one of those tank top style t-shirts that exposed his bulging, tattooed biceps. He sported a buzz cut and an indifferent attitude. At least he was willing to talk.

“Your relationship with Amanda ended in February, is that correct?” Jess studied her notes. “After Valentine’s Day.” That hadn’t been a very good holiday for Jess this year either. She’d been reassigned the Spears case and had foolishly thought that was a positive thing.

“That’s right. I would’ve ended it sooner but she owed me fifty bucks. She wasn’t gonna have the money until she got her tax refund. She picks up a job here and there just to make sure she gets that earned income whatever for the kid.”

“Who was her last employer?”

“Restaurant out on 35. She worked there for a couple months until she got in a big brawl with the night manager. Beat the hell out of the woman.” Evans leaned forward and braced his forearms on the table. “Amanda’s crazy, in case you ain’t figured that out already. I mean, total, batshit crazy. She can be all sweet and lovey-dovey one minute and ready to cut your throat the next.”

“Is that your opinion or are you speaking from experience,” Jess prodded.

“Experience,” he assured her, “definitely. I woke up one night and she was sitting in the bed staring at me. Might’ve been all right if she hadn’t been holding a butcher knife.” He shook his head and made a face. “Besides, all she talks about is serial killers and murders. She loves that shit.”

“Have you ever known her to do more than rough someone up?” Jess placed her badge on the table just to remind him who he was talking to. “The statement you’re giving is the same as if you were in a courtroom testifying. Think carefully before you continue.” That wasn’t exactly true but he wouldn’t know the difference.

“I can’t prove it but a couple times when she was wasted she bragged about killing people. I thought it was just her trying to be a bad ass. She likes attention. If she doesn’t get it, she gets pissed. I wouldn’t want her pissed at me.” He leaned back, showed his hands. “I knew I was done with her when she started talking about having sex with a serial killer. That player guy. He’s all she talks about. She acts like she knows him or something. I’m telling you she’s nuts.”

Tension squeezed a little tighter around Jess’s chest. “Did she tell you she’d spoken to him or met him?”

He shrugged. “Nah. At first, I thought he was more of her crazy talk. I’d never heard of him. I figured she made him up. She does that too. She has this big complicated story about her old man.
