WE CRAM BACK INTO Georgie’s white van. Roger takes the shotgun seat, since we’ll be driving to his house. For obvious reasons, we’ll take the scenic route over the most out-of-the-way country roads we can find. Some of the roads are unpaved. I sit in back with Suzanne and, for the first time, listen to Detective Miller’s messages. As I suspected, he’s asking me to surrender myself for further questioning now that they have Sissy’s body in custody at the AMC morgue. If I don’t respond to his request by three o’clock today, he’ll consider me fleeing his demand and he’ll officially issue a warrant for my arrest. He also tells me that although they haven’t gone public with any of their findings, a preliminary examination of Sissy’s body suggests foul play.
