Page 69 of She Didn't See It Coming
While the cops have been slacking, or having donuts or whatever, I’ve been busy looking further into Derek Gardner, and his wife, Alice Gardner. And guess what?? I found something VERY interesting! She inherited MILLIONS from her mother when she was killed four years ago in a—wait for it—HIT-AND-RUN. WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED. This case just gets more and more interesting! Maybe Sam Frost killed his wife, I don’t know. But if she was sleeping with Derek Gardner—think about it. Maybe he’s killed before. Maybe he deliberately ran down his mother-in-law with a car and left the scene so he and his wife would get all her money. And this one happened on a lonely rural road in New Hampshire, outside of a tiny town called Roxbury. I’ve looked into this, and it looks like they weren’t even considered suspects, because the police said they had no suspects. But what if he got away with it? And what if he killed Bryden? I’m switching my vote from TEAM SAM to TEAM DEREK. I think he’s a killer. It takes someone verycold-blooded to run over an old lady. And it takes someone very cold-blooded to hold a plastic bag over a woman’s face till she’s dead and stuff her body in a suitcase.

There’s a new post from Deep Diver, and Lizzie quickly looks at it. A photograph of a familiar woman with auburn hair, with the following text.
Here’s a pic. She’s a looker. Only child, wealthy parents. Neither she nor her husband, Derek, are on social media,which makes them weird in my book. And harder to find out about. But he has his own cybersecurity firm and she works at the University at Albany. I’ve attached a photo of a short news article about the accident.
Lizzie reads all this breathlessly. Reads the posted newspaper article too. This makes Derek look very much like a killer. No wonder his wife is worried.
She remembers Alice, sitting with her on the bench.I’m Team Sam. Alice knows that Lizzie is on here, or she never would have said that to her. So which one is she? Does she know that Lizzie is Emma Porter? And if so, how? Has she seen through her “friend in the police” story?
Alice might suspect, but she can’t be sure. Lizzie’s not going to stop because of Alice Gardner.
She sits at her computer, her fingers hovering over the keyboard, deciding how to respond in a comment to Deep Diver’s post.
Emma Porter
You’re right. I already knew about the hit-and-run because of my contact in the police. But they’ve been keeping it quiet.
Deep Diver
Emma PorterMaybe it’s time to apply pressure to the police so they take this seriously. I’ll send this info to the news media in Albany, and they can dig deeper. Let’s see what happens! I love to help catch killers. That’s what we’re all about, right?
