Chereads / Killed Unjustly / Chapter 4 - Sandra Moore

Chapter 4 - Sandra Moore

After going round the neighborhood for a while and getting information from people about the family and Hailey especially, they decided to return to the station so they can plan how the investigation would go on. Then Detective Sam drew a chat on a board about the information they got, he sat at his table and took a sip at his coffee, "Some people view the Harvey family as a perfect one while some were able to see past the charade", Sam said. " Charade?", Emily asked, "How do you see it as a charade?". " It is charade because people were able to see that Hailey was the pride of her father which Amelia was jealous about... Which might be the reason Amelia wants her out or dead. Another is, Ben being a regular gambler, lost to Hailey a particular bet he's been chasing... The anger of losing might make Ben take her out", Sam concluded. "But she's their daughter for crying out loud!", Emily argued. " Let's not suspect the family, Hailey's got friends and boyfriend, even an ex, who knows? One of them might know something about her missing", "Hmm, I see. We'll go over to the house tomorrow and get information on the friends and boyfriend", Sam explained.

The Following Day

Sam and Emily got to the house of the Harveys, they knocked on the door and it was opened by Amelia who was dressed up elegantly with a close to heavy make up. She seems shocked to see them, she immediately put up a sober face but with the help of the make-up, her face maintained the elegant look. She led them to the sitting room and they sat on the sofa, she offered them a glass of water which they rejected politely. Sam brought up the reason they were there, he brought out a small book and pen from the pocket of his trouser. He asked, "Does Hailey still stay with you or she has her own apartment?", Amelia cleaned a fake tears from her cheek and said, " She still live with us but she goes to her boyfriend's place or her friend's place and she stays for as long as she wants. I didn't object with that". Same jots it down and asked, "Do you ever notice, maybe argument between her and her boyfriend or even her friend?". " Erm, at times, she comes back home from her friend and boyfriend's place with injuries but all she tells me was that she met with bandits or robbers on her way home. Then I'll apply ointment for her, but she wouldn't talk about it to me, I don't know why though", she concluded. "I feel she's keeping things away from me", she said. ," Uhm, if you don't mind, do you have her friend's contact or home address", Sam asked. "Oh yes, I do. And recently when I called her about Hailey. She dropped the call on me feigning bad network", Amelia added. 'Smart woman, trying yo push the blame on someone else', " We'll get to the root of the matter and look for Hailey ", Sam said as he collected Sandra's address and contact. " We hope to always meet you whenever we need you", Sam said and they left.

At Sandra's house

Emily knocked and a young girl of 24 came out to them, she's  slim and has the physique of a model, Emily quickly judged her in her head that she was a model, "Good morning ma'am, we are from Melbourne police station and we'd like you to answer us a few questions", Emily said bringing out her ID card. "What about him?", Sandra asked about Sam who didn't bring out his identity card as a police officer. Sam who was watching every step and emotion made by Sandra already calculated her step as he noticed that Sandra was about to close the door on them, he immediately moved forward and set his leg between the door, " I wouldn't do that if I were you", Sam said and he pushed the door open with his strength. Immediately they got access to enter, Sam handcuffed Sandra and said, " You're under arrest for the missing of Miss Harvey Hailey and you're advised to keep quiet or anything you say will be used against you in the court of law", with that she was taken to the police station.
