January 4th

Sally Robertson had gotten some very harsh criticism for having an open viewing of her niece Molly Robertson who had viciously murdered. Even though makeup had covered much of it, two bullet holes could be seen on her forehead. Bruises still were slightly visible on her face from the severe beating she had received from the killer. Sally wanted everyone to see what had happened to her niece.

She did a video recording of the open casket and zoomed in on her niece.

"See, what was done to my niece. I want everyone to know what was done to my niece Molly. Who beat, raped and then shot my niece and then dumped her body at the Cape Canaveral Seashore. I want the bastard who did this to pay. I want him to pay. I want him to pay. May he rot in hell for what he's done to my poor Molly.

Sally paused for a moment before continuing. She had thought long and hard about what she was going to say.

"Who do you think would do this to Molly. She was a well liked person who had no enemies. No enemies. Who would do this to her? Sounds rather extreme but I do know people got angry with Molly because she would defend herself or question people. "

Sitting down, Sally sobbed uncontrollably. It was only because FBI and federal agents were in and around her home, she felt safe.

She hadn't told officials about a diary which she had found in Molly's book bag. She had allowed officials to look thru Molly's items but had hidden the diary. Molly had told her if something happened to her to destroy the diary because it had damning information. And damning it did but not in the way that one would think. Nothing in the diary would confirm who killed her niece. She knew that her niece was having an affair with a married man after Molly told her several months earlier.

Mark Malls had thought about attending Molly's viewing and funeral but he didn't dare. He was trying not to freak out and his trusted bodyguard Sam was telling him to calm down as he was very upset. . He didn't know how much Molly had told Aunt Sally about their relationship. He had met the Aunt but she only knew him as Stevie Jones. Women usually told close female family members about their relationship or other women they were close to. He also didn't know if Sally suspected him of murder or wondered if he was the killer.

Ponce Inlet was too small a community. Since the murder had occurred on federal property, the FBI was involved and the town was crawling with federal and state officials who had attended the viewing, funeral and trip to the cemetery. It was easy to see who they were as the community of Ponce Inlet was very close knit.

Mark knew that his appearance would attract a lot of attention and the feds would be questioning him about the murder. He knew he wasn't a suspect or even on the radar as being a suspect, or at least that's what he was told by his bodyguard Sam Wilson. He heard nothing about what the autopsy results and he was very concerned about what the results were.
