Who said good things never made the news? This morning’s newspaper was full of happy information.
The autopsy reports on Amy and Tommy were in and showed marijuana in both their systems. The police were satisfied that the two Warrenstown Summer Playhouse apprentices had been under the influence of drugs when they catapulted off the road.
With the police satisfied, that would be the end of any investigation. The only thing that could open it again would be that damned picture Amy had e-mailed to her friend.
The killer went online, set up a bogus e-mail account that couldn’t be traced, and sent a carefully worded message.
DEAR FRIENDS OF AMY,
WE ARE GETTING PHONE CALLS FROM PEOPLE WANTING TO KNOW HOW THEY CAN HELP. WE APPRECIATE THE OUTPOURING OF LOVE AND SUPPORT WE ARE RECEIVING AT THIS HEARTBREAKING TIME.
IT’S IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW WHAT AMY WAS DOING RIGHT BEFORE SHE WAS TAKEN FROM US. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION TO SHARE, PLEASE LET US KNOW BY REPLY E-MAIL. AMY’S FATHER AND I ARE JUST TOO UPSET TO TAKE PHONE CALLS AT THIS TIME. WE KNOW YOU’LL UNDERSTAND.
SINCERELY,
AMY’S MOM
The killer sent the message to only one friend. Brightlights.
