Chapter 12
Present Time
Sean finished reading the article about the Caulder murder, putting the scrapbook down. “Jake’s mom was killed in much the same way that old man Jacobs was. Is it a coincidence, or is there something more to that case back then? Jake was only 10 at the time, a very impressionable time in someone’s life. It must have been very traumatic for him.
“He was the one who found his mother. It must have scarred him emotionally. He probably repressed this for some time, and then years later, when someone bothered him, he snapped and committed a crime very similar to that which happened to his mother.
“I think we had better go to Middletown and talk to the local sheriff. At least now, we have somewhere we can start our investigation.”
Andrew Miller spoke up. “There’s another article dated Sep. 25th,1994. It says that several cats went missing from the neighborhood, and those that were found had been beaten continually about the head.”
“Grab your coat. We have to go there and check further into this.”O’Reilly ordered.
They raced for the door, unaware that young innocent Jake not only had been affected by his mother’s death, he had caused it and a series of others before confronting Jacobs in the parking lot.
