Chapter 9 - Look-alike

Sam

Sam stared at the lifeless body. In her mind she was comparing the injuries to the other women. Sheelagh stayed in the background anaylasing everyone.

"Sam?"

"Yes, Jack," Sam responded.

"Look like a copycat killer to me."

Sam was quick to get rid of this accusation, "It's not Jack, he's playing with me, look at 3 inch slit on her left ear, same as the other victims but we've never disclosed this information."

"But the circumstances, white body, very different location," Jack defended.

"Jack look at the obvious, the victim looks like me," Sam swallowed, "and it's near my house. Anyway we've got a suspect, surprised we didn't come up with it before Jeff Simpson sir, it was Sheelagh who worked it out. Any idea who the victim is?

"I want you and Phil right round to his location now and questioning him, why have you been already? No idea who she is yet."

"See you later in briefing sir."

Sheelagh

Everyone was getting physically and mentally worn out back in C.I.D. As soon as they were in the station Sam was back out again with Phil. Sheelagh and Terry were going to the shop that sold the wire to try to convince the shopkeeper to make a statement.
