CHAPTER 6
Jade refused to answer Ben’s questions until she could start actively helping with the search. Once she was bundled and outside, Ben began his interview.
“Your friend told me you received a threatening letter. Can you tell me exactly what it said?”
“Yes, I can.” Jade hid her hands inside her coat sleeves since she didn’t have any gloves. “It said, Sorry about your dad. You better make sure your little girl’s not next.”
He watched her fidgeting with her sleeves and then handed her his own gloves. She was too tired and cold to refuse them.
“What did the reference to your dad mean? Did you understand that part?”
“Yes,” she answered flatly and stared at Ben. He was the real reason why she hadn’t shared that part of her testimony at church.
