A Deadly Homecoming

“Not illegally, just…sneakily. Anyway, the man’s name was Leo Fowler. When we tried to verify the information he gave the realtor, it turned out to be fake. We think he probably got into her office somehow and switched it out, since she would have checked what he originally gave her. But, obviously, there’s no way I could ask her.”


“How did you find out this man was also the purported witness to your parents’ murder?” she asked.


“Someone, we don’t know who he is, gave us the file on their murders,” Gregg told her.


She rolled her eyes. “Your own Deep Throat?”


“We’ll go with that,” Gregg replied. “I know the file is legit. I asked a contact of mine at the precinct to see if he could get it for me, since it’s a cold case. He told me the file had disappeared.”
