"The internet's on fire right now. The video's everywhere, and public pressure is through the roof. The task force has been reactivated. Everyone's demanding we catch the real killer."
I frowned. "Why didn't this anonymous person hand over the footage sooner? Why wait until the task force was dissolved, then blast it out to everyone?"
It made no sense.
The video was critical evidence — a key lead. If whoever filmed it had turned it in right away, it could have helped crack the case much earlier. And they would've collected the ten-million-dollar reward Silas had posted.
So why the silence before? And why this sudden, very public move now?
Captain Finch exhaled heavily. "We suspect it was deliberate. Whoever sent it wanted to stir things up again."
"We've tried tracking the sender, but the message was anonymous. The IP was masked. We can't trace it, and we can't make contact."
Silas jumped in immediately. "Can't you use the surrounding surveillance cameras to track down the man in the video?"
"He couldn't have appeared out of thin air and vanished into nothing. Check every camera within a few miles of the scene — there has to be footage of him coming or going."
