Chapter 49

Roy grumbles a little, but then he starts going through everything he knows about Alice’s day, and when he had seen her and not seen her during the day. Ronan takes notes of everything, even details they already have on file, in case they spark something different this time.

Alice had been out fixing the cover on the garden furniture. From what Roy says it was very unusual for the covers to come off the garden furniture. No one had been at the back of the house when Alice called to say she was going to fix the covers. Roy and his wife hadn’t heard any screams or sounds of a struggle.

From everything Roy says, Ronan believes Alice was lured into the backyard, and knocked out with something like chloroform, then carried away. The backyard backs onto another street, where a car could have been waiting. Dustin had seen a car in one of his visions.
