As Hotch and Blake waited patiently for the coroner to arrive, Hotch decided to check whether his cell phone really did work in that area.
"Hotch?" Morgan answered his cell. "These phones do work up here?" He sounded surprised.
"Yes, apparently Captain Wright was lying about that," Hotch filled him in. "Now, all we have to do is figure out what else he was lying about. Meanwhile, how are things going with the search parties?"
"Thankfully, up here daylight hours start early during the summer months," Morgan told his boss. "Rossi's team has completed examining the area around the house. They didn't find anything. However, my team appears to have located the place on the road where Danny was taken. It doesn't look like a scuffle took place. It appears that he just walked onto the edge of the road and then off into the woods."
"That would track with him knowing his abductor," Hotch commented. "And, it is beginning to look more and more like that is Captain Wright. We just located his wife's body. She never made it off the island."
"Great, so that's who we are looking for," Morgan replied. "Should we begin tracking him through the woods?"
"Get the two teams together," Hotch instructed. "Tell them who we are looking for and make sure they understand that if they see Captain Wright they are not to approach him. Just keep him under surveillance and call for back-up. Then, you take three or four of the Troopers and start following the tracks through the woods. Have Rossi bring the rest back to the Post."
"Will do," Morgan agreed. "I'll have Rossi call and let you know when he's on his way."
