Faye Kellerman: Stalker

“They all had their excuses. Bert and I kept feeling that we were missing something or that someone was holding back. Namely the widow. She kept telling us that it was okay … that we were doing our best. Talking like we were schoolkids taking a hard test. Her attitude surprised us. Then I began to reckon that there was this real possibility that she didn’t want us to look too hard.”

“Why?”

“She was scared of someone coming back to get her.”

“Did she mention feeling threatened?”

“Matter of fact, she downplayed it, saying that the kidnapping was a random thing because Armand drove a very noticeable and expensive car. It could have happened to anyone. It was always Bert’s and my contention that she wanted the minimum—just to make it look good for Armand’s mother. While I feel very bad for this Stacy Mills, I am happy that she breathed some life into the Crayton case.”

Marge said, “So you never interviewed either Stacy Mills or Elizabeth Tarkum?”

“No. But I’m sure Armand kept secrets that he took to his grave. With Mills and Tarkum and the wife, you have a distinct advantage over Crayton, Margie. The girls are still alive.”

“Who’d you go with first?” Marge asked. “The wife?”

Webster nodded. “Definitely the wife. And if you find out something that I missed, don’t rub it in.”
