IW does not like TC. IW calls TC "helium balloon". TC oblivious or just ignores TW. IW wants to be a SM when she grows up. She told TL that "she wanted to pop that helium balloon" IW idolizes JWG, SoS, ZK, JtR + JD. Mostly people just watch out for IW. She's interesting.
"If Colter didn't kill her, and Jeff didn't kill her, then what? We just exhausted our only leads."
"Not quite. In this notebook it says that this person, IW, said that she wanted to "pop that helium balloon", talking about Tamara."
Josie rolled her eyes. "You're gonna take the word of a little kid serious like that?"
Scotty didn't look up from the notebook. "I take her word more serious than that of anyone else we talked to."
"Hey, Lil? What does 'IW' stand for?"
"IW?"
"In your notebook. 'IW does not like TC'."
Lilly thought about it for a little while. "Ingrid…Ingrid Williams. She wanted to be a serial killer."
"Is that what SM stands for?"
"Let me see." She read over the page then nodded. "Serial murderer. TL was Tanya Lewis. I think the other ones are John Wayne Gacy, Son of Sam, Zodiac Killer, Jack The Ripper and Jeffery Dahmer."
"Tanya Lewis?"
"Her best friend."
"Thanks." Scotty headed back to his office to locate Ingrid Williams and Tanya Lewis.
Ingrid and Tanya proved harder to locate than Jeff, Colter or Rod. Ingrid's last known residence (from 1979) turned out to be a condemned warehouse, and there was absolutely no record of there ever being a Tanya Lewis even remotely close to the age that Tanya Lewis from Lilly's notebook. Scotty sighed and turned off his computer. He would read Lilly's notebook again and see what else she had tucked away in there.
He wasn't really paying attention to the TV. It was just background noise.
"The elusive Copycat Killer has evaded Philadelphia police once again. The Copycat Killer is believed to have killed at least twenty people in as many years. The Copycat Killer mimics the style of such killers as Son of Sam, John Wayne Gacy, the Zodiac, Jack The Ripper and Jeffery Dahmer. This evening, police responded to a call from Kensington. A skinned body was found hanged between two trees. No other information has been released. Now, in sports news…"
Scotty picked up the phone the second it rang. "Valens."
"Scotty, Ingrid!"
"Huh?"
"On the news!" her voice was urgent.
"I know, I was just about to call."
"How come Stillman never had us investigate?" she wondered.
"Because she wasn't done yet?" Scotty guessed.
"We have to find her, Scotty." Lilly hesitated. "Before she kills someone else."
