day that she disappeared. He claims that she refused, and she taunted him about preferring his brother.”
“Vicky Taylor, Radio Today . Did the key found next to the body belong to either Miss Jackson or Scott Halliday?”
“No. The key did not belong to either Miss Jackson or Mister Halliday.”
Th at answer prompted a sea of voices to shout out all at the same time. The questions became unintelligible, but one strong male voice near the front did stand stood out from the crowd.
“Chief, Chief. If the key did not belong to the victim or the perpetrator, do you know who it d id belong to ? An d why was the key found next to the body. Is a third party involved?”
“To our knowledge there was no other party involved in the murder of Tracey Dawn Jackson. M r. Scott Halliday stated that he deliberately planted the key. The locker key belonged to his brother Vincent Halliday, and Scott had intended to throw suspicion on his brother when the body was found.”
“Is it true Chief, that Halliday accused you of being incompetent in not finding the body sooner? And why exactly was the body not discovered until now?”
Chief Summers was now losing his patience and his cheeks reddened as he became visibly angry.
“Yes madam . Mr. Halliday did make certain accusations towards the police in general. As for why the body was not discovered until now; the body was found in a secluded area. It probably would have remained undiscovered if a m etal detecting enthusiast had not picked up a signal from the key. The key, I might add, that the murderer planted in order to incriminate his brother . ”
“ Benson, Daily News. How close are you to tracing the owners of the other personal items found, and do you believe Halliday’s claims about killing more women are genuine?”
“We are still trying to trace the owners of the other items, but you have to understand that we have to reopen missing person’s cases dating back over thirty years. These things take time. As for whether his claims are genuine or not, well I can confirm that we are treating his claims very seriously indeed. That’s all.”
As the disgruntled Chief Handsen left the room, his spokesman made all the usual noises about keeping the media fully informed. The screen switched back to the TV station newsreader in the studio.
Carly started pacing the floor like an expectant father as she continued to watch the broadcast. It didn’t feel real, and she was finding it hard to take it all in. Holy cow, I don’t believe it. How couldn’t I tell it was him? Good job I didn’t confront him with the attaché case and Tracey’s locket. He’d probably have killed me too !
It was late and Carly was exhausted, but being so disturbed by these latest events she didn’t think she’d manage to sleep.
Maybe I should use my CD to help me to get off to sleep. On second thoughts , I’ve had enough adventures for one day ! Think I’ll settle for a cup of hot chocolate instead .
Carly wandered wearily in to the kitchen. These past few days have been very eventful , she thought, but who knows what lies in store for me in the future …
