"It’s your show," Jackson replied
Sean nodded and started his own setup Athe nah it’s pretty self-evident," Sean said "Here we have the Alahorn and the locations where the bodies were discovered There are only a few blocks between the Ala here, in case there is a connection Rose Langley was found in Room 207, soon after she was murdered I don’t think anyone proved it was Matt Meyer, but apparently everyone knew it Due to the amount of blood in Rooree that Sierra Monte didn’t walk out of there alive If ere to draw a line around the locations where the rest of the bodies were found, including those of our other known victims--Chelsea Martin and Tara Grissom--we have a circle, and the center of that circle would fall right between the Alahorn"
"Do you think the locations ?" Jane asked
"Well, it an said "Every time he’s dumped a body, he’s known exactly where it could be left in plain sight and still re about drugs, decos anyone can study online And I’s on the street Plus, it’s really not that hard to go to lectures or read books on cri to find a suspect with knowledge of criround" He looked around at the others "We believe this person is never seen accosting the women, because he doesn’t accost the the an obvious problem, there’s no reason for tourists or anyone to notice hi around the Alarao out toet more help from the public"
He walked over to the board Kelsey had covered with the women’s J Doe naem worth probably ht before the Alaley, as killed in Room 207 We’ve learned that Sierra Monte was exceptionally fond of geued by jewelry, and so was Chelsea Martin We’ve also learned that Tara Grissom was fascinated by the history here, so she likely had knowledge of the Longhorn Saloon, Rose Langley and the Galveston diamond"
"Hoould the killer have knoho these women were, and ould he have suspected they’d even heard of the diaan looked at Sean "I’ve done computer searches and I’ve checked our identified victims’ email and social network accounts What we need to find out is whether they were coht’ve been giving the ideas or other information from them That’s just a theory"
"What if some of them were killed so it would look like there’s a serial an turned the question over to Jackson He was old FBI; he’d worked as a behavioral specialist
"It’s possible," he said thoughtfully "Our scientific investigations have giant holes because most of the bodies were found in such severe states of decomposition, but as far as we can tell, these s of a sexual psychopath The victims were e And again, as far as we know, their relationship is to the Alahorn Saloon"
"The killer almost has to be local, as we’ve discussed, partly because of the tio, but the tian nodded "I’ to say local for those reasons, too We’ll accept the fact that Rose Langley was killed by Matt Meyer And we’ll work on the theory that the Galveston diamond did come to San Antonio Rose was the only one who knehere the diamond was, but it seems likely that it was hidden somewhere at the inn" He looked at Sean "Can you research the known victims, try to find out if they believed they were psychics? I didn’t see anything about that when I researched theure we’ll have to ask friends and family directly"
Kelsey raised her eyebrows "Kat," she asked "Could the killer have kept theet the like that?"
"Yes, of course, it’s possible But still, how did the killer knohich woht have an answer to that," Sean said "He saw their pictures, which made them easy to identify They’re all over the internet It’s a reasonable place to start"
"We believe he’s dressed up, so we’re looking for soht own a costuan, and then at Jackson Crow "I honestly think we have that on good authority"
"We use everything we get," Jackson assured her
"There’s soht have had an unhealthy interest in the Longhorn, perhaps because of the an said "I’ victim--was killed by someone else, and if we deter her killer But as to the killings that could continue, our answers horn Saloon"
"We really have to do better with thisa piece of cheese in her mouth as she cut pieces from a block of sharp cheddar to add to the salads "I’an hardly heard what she’d said He was deep in thought, trying to create a list of everyone he’d seen at the Longhorn in the past few days Which, of course, meant very little, since the rodeo was in town
