They decide to publicize the Bexhill murder.

Ch. 12: Don arrives at the Barnard’s in shock. Tells Poirot he wasn’t with Betty on the night she was killed, she told him she was going to St. Leonards w/ a gf. He didn’t believe her and attempted to stalk her but couldn’t find her. He arrives home past midnight.

Ch. 11: according to Megan, Don and Betty were the equivalent of casually dating; he wanted to be exclusive and was often violently angry and frightened Betty. At one point, he threatened to kill Betty. Megan, however, never thought he would actually kill her. Unclear whether Megan believes that he did NOT kill Betty.

What. The. Hell.

I suppose if it’s not chrome it’s whoever that young man was in the previous chapter.
