"Mrs. Wilcox, I'm Detective Stella Bonasera, and this is Detective Lindsay Monroe. I'm sorry for your loss."

"Thank you, Detective. Am I right in assuming you two are dating?"
Stella exchanged a brief glance with Lindsay.
"I'm sorry if that was out of line," Mrs. Wilcox said.

"Technically it is, but it's fine. Yes, we are dating. How did you know?"
"You had all the mannerisms of a couple."
"Uh, right...So, anyway let's get started. Mrs. Wilcox, was there anyone who would want to hurt your daughter?"

"The only person I can think of is Craig Jameson. By the end of Jane's relationship with him, he was abusive. But he wouldn't have been able to kill her, because he's in jail."

"To the best of your knowledge, did Jane have a fiancé?"

"No. As far as I knew, she didn't have a fiancé, but she was dating this wonderful girl by the name Anna. Anna Winters, I believe it was," Mrs. Wilcox said, "But Anna would never hurt anyone. Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Why'd you ask if she had a fiancé?"

"She was wearing an engagement ring when we found her body, Mrs. Wilcox."

"They must have gotten engaged since I last talked to her. There's no way she would have withheld that from me."

"Thank you for your time, Mrs. Wilcox. You're free to go. Sorry for your loss."

Stella and Lindsay stepped out of the interrogation room as Sheldon approached.

"Got something from the vic's phone, which was in her purse, found in a trash can several feet away. Anyway, there's a number listed to a James. No last name, no address, but it says he's her manager. There is no James working at the restaurant, so I'm thinking she had a side job. Maybe we need to talk to this James guy."
