They needed to know since they’d hit an information gold mine.

“Thank you, and she’d handle it. Now, she’s missing too. Do you think she confronted him, and he ended her life?”

Yeah, that’s exactly what they thought.

This woman was damn astute.

“Yes,” Bishop said. “But we need more. You said he was trying to collect her things. Why?”

Oh, she had an idea.

“He would always give her little things. On Valentine’s Day, he gave her a journal-like book. A planner, I guess is what they are called.”

They listened.

“In it, he wrote down a whole three months of preplanned dates. There was his initial and a heart.”

“Do you have the book?” Genesis asked.

She nodded.

Getting up, she went to a closet, and she grabbed a box of things. Then, she handed it to them.

“I hate him. I’m not even going to lie. I hope his dick rots off.”

No one blamed her.

Pulling on gloves, Genesis found the journal, and when she opened it, there was a man’s handwriting, and a little heart with his initial.

In the box, it also said ‘picnic’.

She showed Tori and Bishop.

They all knew what he had likely done. He probably had multiple books, and gave one to each woman, so he could keep his dates straight.

Different days were different girls, but they were all the same place.

It too pointed to be camping and a picnic in that park where they died.

Someone needed to get a new pickup trick.

“Can I take this with me and admit it into evidence?” she asked. “If it has his fingerprints, he can’t say it’s not his initial. This might help me bring him in.”

The woman nodded.

“You’ll make him pay, right? I have no doubt that he had women all over the place.”

Oh, they planned on it.

What they needed was to lock it down. That was the hard part. They knew the day Aimee went missing, and it coincided with the planner.

So there was that.

It would take time to get the journal checked by the forensics group, and they’d need his fingerprints if they weren’t on file.

On top of that, he was an ambulance chaser with a father-in-law who was a state supreme court judge.

That was a problem.
