Chapter 13 Summary: “Sheriff Hudson”

Marcus prepares for his meeting with the press. He’s overwhelmed by all the reporters’ questions about the Stevens case, but he informs them that he can’t speak about the Kelly Summers case because it’s an active investigation again. Back in his office, he meets with his partner and girlfriend Deputy Pam Olson. She informs him that she just got a call about a missing person named Stacy Howard. The last person Stacy allegedly saw was Bob Miller.

Chapter 14 Summary: “Bob Miller”

Bob gets called into the sheriff’s office. He assumes they want to see them because of the Summers case—he was interviewed years before because he knew Kelly—but Marcus and Pam question him about Stacy instead. They inform him that she’s gone missing and show him a picture of her. Bob realizes Stacy is the woman he had a one-night stand with. He hadn’t remembered her because he’d been drunk. He admits that he slept with her but insists he hasn’t had contact with her in weeks. He doesn’t know why Stacy would’ve told her roommate that she was meeting up with him again this week. The police let Bob go but forbid him to leave town.
