CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
By one o’clock that afternoon, the town of Deton, Virginia, was overcrowded with police cars. There were more from the state sent in to assist with what was now officially being referred to as a murder and abduction case. There were plenty of officers coming in from Richmond, and Barnes had essentially committed every Deton officer to the case.
While Jones Field and all of Blood Gulch Road was being combed over by a total of fifteen officers, Kate and DeMarco were at the Deton police station. They were sitting in the conference room again, this time with Barnes, Foster, and now Brent Halloway. Barnes was currently putting the finishing touches on the last piece of tape to keep a huge area map of Deton and most of the surrounding area, including Deerfield, up on the wall.
