After the officers finished, I checked the kitchen.
One drawer had been pulled loose from the island. When I tried to slide it back into place, I noticed a folded sheet of paper wedged between the drawer runner and the cabinet wall.
I recognized Linda’s name before I noticed the date.
It looked as though it had fallen from a pocket when the drawer was yanked open.
I pulled it free.
It was a truck rental agreement.
I recognized Linda’s name before I noticed the date.
Monday.
She’d rented the truck the day before Derek broke into my house.
I put the agreement in an envelope and sent him the images.
Her name was on the agreement, and the payment had been made using her credit card.
I photographed it and called the officer who’d handled our report. He asked me to email him the photographs and keep the original somewhere safe.
