Crime, Thrillers & Mystery / Untitled
Three days passed before they found the body. It had been retrieved from the Missouri River and unidentified at first, but today Detective Hally Martin was finally going to get the results of identification through dental records.
The body had been found by an elderly couple taking a daily stroll near the banks of the river.
The face had been entirely clawed away and the bone structure crushed in, so there was no way to match it with a picture from a missing persons report. Various cuts and bruises were found over the rest of the body. Luckily there was no major harm to the teeth except for the loss of the upper right pre-molar and a chip of the bottom incisor.
Hally was determined to crack this case as fast as she could. If she could finish this case before her ex-partner, Tyler Nicks, she would have one up on him for the head of the department. That would be sweet revenge, since they had also been involved, too. Obviously, that hadn’t gone over well. He ended up cheating on her.
Hally arrived at the coroner’s just in time to see them tag the body.
“Who is it?” she said immediately.
The man who performed the autopsy looked up. “Her name is Crystal Singer. Here’s her family information.”
He handed Hally a card. She took it numbly, already deep in thought. She had heard that name before, but she couldn’t remember where.
Looking at the card in her hand, she decided to go to the home and break the news to Crystal’s family. Maybe the neighborhood would trigger something in Hally’s memory, if she had in fact known the girl personally.
“Anything else?” Hally asked.
“No. I’ll contact you if anything does come up.”
“Thanks.”
She walked out into the chilly fall air. She got to the car still thinking about that name.
The problem with this case was that when a body was found in water, all the evidence was wahsed away. Therefore, it’s up to background information and witnesses to help the case. After the ball started rolling, however, it caused a chain reaction.
