Murder She Baked: A Plum Pudding Murder Mystery Page #6

---

Okay, um...

The music was on, right?

And the lights.

And an elf told me

that that stuff's

all supposed to be

shut down by 9:
00.

The elf? Yeah, right.

So what time was that at?

Uh, about 9:
30.

We got here at 9:30.

You two

were having dinner together?

Yeah. That's right.

So where'd you go?

To Pallioti's.

- I don't see what that--

- So, um...

When you got to the lot,

did you see or, um,

hear anyone?

No. No, I mean,

someone could have been

hiding in the back,

but we didn't see anyone.

Poor Courtney.

At that point,

you made your way

over to Larry's office.

What did you see there?

The door was unlocked

and I called out to him,

but, uh,

that's when I saw him

lying on the floor,

he had an empty bottle of

alcohol right next to him.

And Norman rolled him over,

and that's when I saw the blood.

He was dead.

Okay, that's what you remember?

Well, I remember

he had a black eye,

but there was a bruise, right,

so it couldn't have been

from today, maybe he got

in a fight yesterday?

- Hannah--

- Someone came back and...

You okay?

- I've called your sister. Okay?

- Yes, thanks.

So what do we got?

Nine mill.

Courtney says Mr. Jaeger

does own a hand gun,

doesn't know what kind.

Haven't found it yet.

There is a possible

footprint out back,

but there's been

a lot of foot traffic.

- Yeah. Merry Christmas.

- Right.

We should get forensics

to take some photos of that,

and then we should

also probably get

shoe-print castings asap.

Right now, we have

one gunshot wound on the victim,

two bullet holes in the TV.

Three casings recovered.

Looks calculated.

Yeah.

There's no sign of struggle.

Okay, good work.

Let me know if you

hear anything else.

I'm just gonna talk to Hannah.

All right.

You keep me in the loop.

Hey, officer. Careful with that.

That's evidence.

We've told you

everything we know here,

and we're both cold

and it's getting late.

I'd like to get Hannah home.

Is there anything else?

Yeah, no, it's probably

most helpful

if you go, get safe,

and stay warm.

You're listening

to Dr. Love's

morning radio show,

and when we return,

we'll speak about forgiveness

being the final form of love.

I have never felt unsafe--

Where are you?

What's going on?

I don't know.

As soon as poor Ron was killed,

I just started to shake.

To shake!

And now two!

Inside of two years.

Hannah! I'm so glad you're here.

Gosh, everybody's been lined up

since before I even opened!

Why?

The murder made

the morning papers.

Are you okay?

I was so worried about you.

I'm fine.

They want to know

everything that you saw.

Good morning, pat.

Why are people so curious

about something so horrible?
