Angela tried to smile, but ended up simply nodding at Thomas. “Anyway,” Catherine said, pointing at her husband’s neck, “if you get any more bug bites, you’ll not have to worry about malaria as much as needing a blood transfusion. It looks like Dracula got to you.” Bill put his hand to his neck. “I had an allergic reaction to the bug spray,” he said.
Is this The Theif who is currently in prison? Obviously, he's the one who is strangeling himself along with his victims. Does he bury their bodies in concrete so they are never found?
“What ever happened to her? The autistic woman?” Lane tapped the file with his finger. “Her name was Angela Mitchell. He killed her before she had a chance to testify.”
Today marks the 38th anniversary of my dear friend Angela Mitchell’s disappearance. So many decades later, and there are still no leads on the case. Few members of the Chicago Police Department even remember Angela, and those that do are long retired and gave up hope long ago of discovering what really happened to her during the summer of 1979.

As Frank entered the room, a strange sensation came over him. It felt as though a thousand sets of eyes were watching him. Then he realized why. Three of the four walls in the nursery contained built-in shelves. Each shelf was lined with antique china dolls in perfect rows, three on each shelf.
