PEOPLE OF INTEREST / July 18, 2013
Officer Samuel Jefferies was there helping to hold back the crowd outside Melanie's Burger Bistro. Everyone wondered what was going on behind the yellow crime scene tape that surrounded the building, especially Melanie.
"What is this all about?" Melanie asked.
"We're searching the premises for anything Mr Thomas Barton may have left behind. We need you to come in for identification purposes." Officer Jefferies took Melanie's elbow and guided her towards his vehicle. "There's no easy way to say this, ma'am. We believe Scottie is dead. A man staying at the Torrance Motel, Mr. Joseph Ferguson, was the last person to wee your ex-husband alive. He saw Scottie getting an item engraved in Old Torrance on July 3rd before the arrest. Scottie was released on July 5th and Ferguson saw him getting another item engraved. It turned out to be a murder weapon that turned up in the desert near Baker.
It's covered with Scottie's prints and some yet to be identified prints. The blood and red hair match that of a missing employee from the information center, a Miss Rebecca Daniels. Miss Daniels went missing on Mr. Barton's day off, which is the last time you indicated you saw him. The information center has security camera footage of Thomas Barton ogling Miss Daniels on June 20th. We believe the second set of prints will be Thomas Barton's."
