My Sister's Grave

Tracy and her partner, Kins, return from interviewing an accountant whose fingerprint was discovered at the Nicole Hansen murder scene. The accountant provides a solid alibi, eliminating him as a suspect. Sergeant Billy Williams warns Tracy that police leadership has grown concerned about her involvement in her sister Sarah’s case and her assistance to attorney Dan O’Leary in seeking a new trial for Edmund House.

Tracy is summoned to a tense meeting with Captain Nolasco, her hostile superior, along with Lieutenant Andrew Laub and Public Information Officer Bennett Lee. Nolasco directly questions her about helping Dan with the House case, and Tracy confirms her personal involvement while denying any use of department resources. When Lee presents a prepared statement for her signature, Tracy refuses to sign it. Nolasco warns her that she is now on her own and can expect no departmental support.

In a flashback, Tracy drives to Cedar Grove and visits the home of Carol Holt, the widow of the town’s former mechanic. She seeks information from Carol’s husband, Harley, about his old service records, hoping they might contain details relevant to Sarah’s disappearance. Carol informs Tracy that Harley died of cancer six months earlier, dashing Tracy’s hopes of speaking with him directly.
