I questioned Lipe about his visit to Yates’s residence. Lipe stated he remembered the day. Lipe stated the visit was a brief visit. He said he did not take the purse and did not know who would have.

Lipe stated Kistner left the room once, but he did not observe any purse on Kistner’s person when they left the residence or anytime afterwards. Lipe said he dated Erica Parker for a short period of time and he would not suspect her of any wrong doing. During their dating period, Lipe had money and other things of value at his residence and in his truck that Parker left alone.

My new partner, Jack, was a tall man, guessing he got deported down here, because I have never seen him previously. Moreover, we introduced ourselves, we made small talk but quickly got into the case. Looking at the murder scene, everything seemed a little off. The evidence that was here for us did not look like it was from a normal murderer, it seemed to have come from a person intelligent enough to hide who they were.

Bewildered, me and Jack go to the upstairs room to run the files. “We think we know who murdered the sheriff, but no one wants to point fingers without evidence”, as Jack opened the door for me. Walking in, thoughts run through my head, it couldn't of been Jessica, could
