I called Cade to verify whether or not he’d sent someone to Ricky’s house. He said he had. The initial conversation turned up nothing, but a warrant did. A significant amount of weed was found in a dresser inside three of Darryl’s socks. Facing an arrest, and fearing police believed he was now the number-one suspect in Darryl’s and Heather’s murders, Ricky’s anxiety boiled over, and he began to sing.
According to Ricky, his relationship with Darryl had been severed a couple weeks before when Ricky accused Darryl of selling him K2, synthetic marijuana made of dried, shredded plants sprayed with chemicals. Ricky swore he was the one to break ties with Darryl. And as for where the pot in his dresser came from, a hesitant Ricky said it came from his current dealer, a name he was more than happy to give up in order to avoid charges.
With Ricky looking like an innocent victim, once again I was back to square one.
