Teaser to Whisper in the Dark (For the anniversary of the Benoit tragedy)

Jun 25, 2009 22:52

Notes: I first want to say that the Detectives opinions in this story are not mine. I need to write them this way for the story to work.

Jean looked at the folder that had been sent up from Fayetteville. It had been suggested to them, from a unanimous source, to look into a double homicide suicide in an Atlanta Georgia suburb. She had heard of the tragedy but she didn't see what kind of connection there was. As far as she could tell the Benoit tragedy had a father who had gone crazy and killed his wife and son. This wasn't the same thing.

"Hey," Tony said looking up from his desk where he had been on the phone. She hadn't been paying attention to his phone call as she made notes. "The Fayetteville Police Department says we can make copies of the folder but they do want it back."

"Okay." She said.

She started to get up to go to the copy machine when something caught her eye.

Bibles. There were bibles left near Nancy and Daniel.

She picked up the Levesque/McMahon folder and started to flip through the folder of pictures the coroner had taken of Shane McMahon. She saw something she had previously missed. She waited until her partner was off of the phone.

"Tony take a look at this." She said handing him the picture.

"What am I looking for?" Tony asked holding the picture up closer.

"Look at McMahon's wrists. Look at what's tying him to the staircase."

Tony looked at them and even grabbed a magnifying glass. "Is that a rosary?"

"That's what it looks like to me." She said. "With the Benoit case they had found bibles next to Nancy and Daniel Benoit's bodies."

"You think there's a connection?"

"I have no idea but it's worth looking into."
