Beginning the Investigation

Keith Mars looks at the body. Aaron Echolls had been killed by single blow from a heavy object. Blood is still seeping from his nose and ears.

A heavy glass ashtray lies by Aaron’s right hand. Keith makes sure that it is photographed in place, before he places it into an evidence bag.

Deputies spread out around the property, looking for any trace left by the killer.

Veronica sits with Lilly. The girls are understandably upset, but Keith can’t allow that to hinder his investigation. He will have to question both of them.

Veronica knows something she isn’t telling him.
