When Gary returned to the lab, he headed down to see Sheldon.
"Please tell me you found something?"
"Your victim was assaulted. She has tearing throughout her vaginal walls. No foreign object was used though. But... I found this. A very small piece of latex, could have been left behind by the attacker. I found no traces of seman, but I sent a rape kit up to Adam."
"Any distinctive wounds? Tattoos? Scars? That can help us ID the victim?"
"One heart shaped tattoo, with the initials, M/P on her right thigh."
"Gary... we got a hit. Michael Thompkins just reported his wife Pamela missing. He said she came home last night from a buisness trip. He found her luggage, purse, and coat. He also said the house looks disturbed. Including the bed sheets, that showed signs of a struggle."
"Alright... let's get over there. Thanks Sheldon."
Meanwhile...
Long Island Courthouse... 100 Federal Plaza Central Islip,NY
He was late for work. He knew he would be. Damn that little bitch for having such tough skin. One of the hardest out of the four, he had done so far. Shame really, that this one would be found. He had done well so far. Excellent as far as he was concerned. But with that damn interruption last night, he had no time to bury this one.
But that was okay. For he knew he was careful. He had left no evidence behind.
"Damn you Feebers, you're late again. What did I tell you? Do you know how hard it was for me to get you this security job, and what do you do? Make me look like an idiot, by being late all the time."
"I'm sorry Scott. I am. Please don't tell."
"Fine. But once more and I have no choice. Step brother or no step brother."
"I understand. Thank you," he said as he hooked his cuff's.
"Why do your cuff's have blood on them?"
"Hm... oh, I cut myself last night, I"ll go wash them off."
"God you are a slob sometimes, pull yourself together."
Rushing into the bathroom he washed his cuffs, dried them, and hooked them back on. Coming out of the washroom, he headed into Courtroom #3.
Meanwhile..
When they arrived at the Thompkins home, Michael was emotionally distraught.
"Please... tell me you found my wife."
"Sir, my name is Detective Gary Taylor. I regret to inform you, that your wife is dead."
"Nooooooo... nooooo... please, she can't be. How can you know it's her?"
Taking out the picture of the tattoo on her left thigh. Gary showed it to Michael as he collapsed on the ground.
"Oh God... why? Who would do this? Who?"
"That's what we are trying to figure out. We need to process your home. Do you have somewhere you can go?"
"Yeah... yeah, my mothers place. God this is my fault. I shouldn't have been late last night. I shouldn't have."
"Where do you work?"
"Long Island Courthouse. I had the evening shift. But the other guard,
Kennith Feebers was late. So I had to call in our boss, Scott Feebers. He showed up around one thirty this morning, so I could come home."
"So Kennith and Scott are brothers?"
"Step brothers. They had different fathers I think. Why all the questions?"
"Sorry, just trying to be thorough. You can go. We will call you when you can get back in."
After he left, Danny said...
"What are you thinking Gary?"
"Nothing yet. Let's start processing."
As they processed the room, Gary had a bad feeling, that this wasn't going to be the last victim they found.
