An Amish Murder Page #3

...for months when he

worked for mom and dad.

I saw you.

I know what I did.

And I know what he did to me.

- How can you be sure

that Lapp is this man...

...this... This slaughterhouse?

I'm not.

But after he was gone,

the killing stopped.

I've made my peace with this.

If I go to hell for what

I did all those years ago...

...so be it.

I obeyed my father.

- Jacob, I have kept

my silence for 17 years.

I kept my word to mom and dad too.

If we go to hell...

...it won't be for what we did.

It'll be for not stopping an

evil man from killing again.

This is a bad idea.

The mill's been shut down for years.

We have to do this, Jacob.

- Our job on this earth

is to forgive, Katie.

Forgive even murder...

...even worse.

What is it?

- That rise. You see it?

What are you doing?

I'm gonna dig.

It's a dog.

I'm done with this.

- Jacob.

No, I'm finished.

I shouldn't have come here.

I shouldn't even be speaking with you.

Hey, boys.

You hungry?

Hello, Lucas.

Katie.

Thought that was you.

Hmm?

I saw you a few weeks ago.

...on birch road.

- Oh.

I saw you too.

I, um...

Wasn't sure you'd recognize me.

Your face...

Is the same.

So why are you here?

What do you want?

- I need to ask you about Daniel Lapp.

After 17 years of silence...

Daniel Lapp.

What do you want to know?

- Has anyone heard from

him since he disappeared?

I know you're angry with me.

I think you should leave.

If it's any comfort...

I lived with what I did every day.

Oh, that's interesting.

I lived with it too.

I still do.

- I don't expect you to understand...

...but I, um, lost a lot too.

I know what you lost:

Your family, your future...

Our future.

- You have every right to hate me.

I don't hate anyone.

It's not our way.

Or have you forgotten that too?

I haven't forgotten anything.

I'm investigating a murder.

- The girl they found yesterday?

- Yeah.

- What does Daniel Lapp

have to do with that?

I don't know.

Just...

Has anyone heard from him?

If I tell you, you'll leave?

If that's what you want.

I think it would be best.

I don't have any room for

you in my life anymore.

I'm married.

I know.

I have children.

- I know. I saw them.

They're beautiful.

No one's heard from him...

...not in all these years.

Left without a word.

It happens more than we'd wish.

Do we know the age?

- Can you give us a statement, please?

Do we have any suspects?

Morning, chief.

Messages?

Oh, and, um...

...there's someone in your office.

Can I help you?

- Well, I don't know. Can you?

You are?

- Tomasetti, bci.

You rang.

- You ordinarily make yourself at home.

...in other people's offices?

Thank you.

- Mm.

Well, I don't ordinarily
