"Nothing."
"Nothing?!" Rizzoli exclaimed.
"Nothing." Korsak repeated. "House to house, interviews with neighbours, places she frequented came up with nothing."
"At all?" Jane questioned, not quite ready to admit her investigation was hitting a dead end. She hadn't felt like this since the day Maura was accused of murder - this was one case Rizzoli simply couldn't let run cold.
"Everyone said the same thing: Suzie kept to herself - polite, friendly enough to everyone but kept to herself and didn't really socialise. Always working - didn't own a car, flat was nice enough but not in a desirable area, didn't have a huge savings pot at the bank, lived comfortably but not beyond her means. Her life was in the MEs department."
"Which makes her quitting even more strange," Jane noted. "We're still awaiting computer and mobile analysis - specialist lab is completely backed up with terror suspects, so we've fallen way down the priority list. That should hopefully be with us by the end of the day. She didn't even have a landline - or, at least, one that the telecom company knows about. Why the hell did she resign? It doesn't make sense." she groaned - they weren't getting anywhere.
"I do feel bad," said Korsak. "I mean, we always spent our time moaning at the lab for not getting things to us fast enough - they can only go as fast as their equipment, and I never realised the poor woman spent more time at the BPD than we did."
"Yeah...hang on," Rizzoli continued, as an idea hit her. "Yo Holiday!" she called to Nina, busy going over CCTV footage from around Suzie's apartment. "How good are you at hacking Facebook?"
Nina shrugged. "Bit of a pro. Let me at your computer then."
As Nina began to type in hack the homepage, Korsak, slightly confused, asked: "Why can't we just search for her profile through one of ours?"
"You have Facebook?!" Jane asked, raising one eyebrow.
"Nah, I'm too old, but I'm sure you kids do," he said, shaking his head and laughing.
"Because we can only see what she made public, or even if we go through Maura's, it'll only be what her "friends" can see." Jane explained. "This way, we can look at her messages and personal activity. We could get a warrant for the website, but the social networks get a bit funny if you do it too often."
"Oh, okay." Korsak said, just as Suzie's profile flashed up on the monitor.
"Even her profile picture is at the lab," Jane noted, as they scrolled through. Her cover photo was taken at the Homicide/Lab baseball game, celebrating their victory. "But nothing unusual here - no hate messages or anything. Let's look at her friends list."
"Work colleagues, fellow alumini from College, a couple of family members...no-one sticks out here either." Korsak added.
"Another dead end...oh wait!" Jane said suddenly. "Stop there. That's the new Senior Criminalist - she knew Suzie. I didn't know she knew her. Have they got mutual friends?"
"Yeah," Nina added. "Loads. All BCU alumini."
"They went to school together." Jane said as she headed out of the squad room and down to the lab...
A/N: Sorry about the length of this chapter, and the wait - I've been placed on my Head of College's "hit list" due to a really crappy school report, so I'll update as often as I can, but school is becoming a nightmare! Sorry xxx
