Hank said, “Tell us what happened when you first spoke with the suspect.”

Abington replied, “When the suspect arrived at the scene, we approached him, but he acted as if he knew nothing. He even pretended that he thought we were there simply to evict him and his wife from their apartment. He identified himself as the victim’s husband.”

“You keep saying victim, I thought there was no body?” Hank asked.

“Come on Mr. Kelly, we know the husband and wife were the only ones living in that apartment, the wife is missing, there’s blood all over the floors, walls, and ceilings, and the husband was covered in blood. Body or no body, we know this is a clear-cut homicide investigation. All we’re looking for is a confession and a tip to where he dumped the body.”
