A year later
Sally was on vacation in May enjoying the blueberry festival in Machias, Maine. She had no idea what was going on around her. She went into a grocery store to get a sandwich for dinner. She was horrified when she saw the tabloid cover which had a picture of her niece and a small picture Mark Malls The article said, "Mystery Man linked to Plus Size Murder Victim Molly Robertson is Rock Star Mark Malls. Their secret love affair revealed.
It was all Sally could do not to scream when she saw the complete medical and sexual history of her niece in the article which covered several pages. She got into her car and called Hotchner who still was in his office
"I'm so sorry Mrs. Robertson but the family of Harold Johnson has sued the federal government and they are requesting from Molly's her medical history including sexual history. I tried to call you earlier and left a message on your phone."
Sally noticed that she had ignored her phone and remembered that it had rang but since she didn't recognize the number, she didn't respond.
"Mrs. Robertson, someone murdered Dr. Stotes a couple of days ago and printed out the medical and sexual history of Molly. They killed her and stole the medical records. We are investigating this. "
"This creep murders my niece, threatens to kill others and has killed at least 14 woman on various beaches up and down the eastern seaboard and then his family is demanding that Molly's doctor turn over her medical history and other private information about her and then her doctor is murdered. Sounds like they had a hand in this, if you know what I mean. Secondly she a victim but is being treated like a criminal."
Sally had a strange feeling that she was being watched but she thought she was being paranoid about nothing. Her gut instinct was usually right on. When she came back to the motel, the man she had seen more or less following her was there. He had been at the motel for a couple of days like she had. She felt uncomfortable around him. Now she knew why.
She slept that night with the lights on as she was now very scared. She couldn't sleep and turned on the TV. Throngs of reporters were hounding Mark Malls who refused to say anything about the article.
Reporters were now at her home in Ponce Inlet awaiting her return. She was glad that she had Molly's diary with her.
Right before she boarded a plane for Florida, she found out that her home had been ransacked.
