"There are no leads." Anna was disappointed in the report herself. Her and countless other officers had pulled several all nighters trying to uncover where the DiMeras could've run off to. There had been several false leads, but at the moment, it all looked like the investigation was at a dead end.
"Who is this?" Dante asked, gesturing toward the woman who'd come in with Anna.
"This is Detective Hope Brady from the Salem Police Department." She said as Hope stepped forward to shake hands. "She is heading the investigation in Salem."
"EJ is married to my niece." said Hope. "I'm so sorry this happened. No one in Salem saw this coming. In fact, my niece is devastated and depressed. Their kids still haven't been told what's happening."
"So, where do they think their dad is?" Lucky asked.
"On a business trip. It's all we can do to hope they don't find out from someone at school or accidentally see it in a newspaper or on TV."
"Excuse me, while I feel sorry for his kids, my own kids lost an uncle and I lost a brother!" Dante exclaimed. "And you're telling me that there are no leads?"
"I'm sorry, Detective," said Anna, "but we're trying the best we can."
"Well, try harder."
Hope stepped in front of Anna. "We've exhausted every possible avenue." she explained. "I know it's difficult to sit back and wait, but the DiMeras have an unlimited amount of resources. They could be anywhere, getting help from anyone."
"Maybe they're getting help from someone in law enforcement." Lulu suggested.
