A Fitzpatrick/Rosario Police Thriller
Wind Chime Bandit — Part 3
Conclusion: Busted!
Police Captain Jake Trapper took a bite of fresh donut. Detectives Fitzpatrick and Rosario were sitting in front of his desk. While chewing, Jake asked, “So who’s the prime suspect and what’s the plan?”
Dan Fitzpatrick spoke up, “Well, I consider Helena Housemaiden to be the prime suspect. We re-watched the video of the town meeting and no one was more vociferously anti wind chime than her. She seems hellbent on ridding the whole world of all wind chimes.”
Maria Rosario rolled her eyes then quickly chimed in, “I don’t consider Helena to be a suspect at all. If she’s the perpetrator why would she draw so much attention to herself with her conspiracy theory tirade? I still think the perpetrator is someone who really, really, really hates windchimes but I’m just not sure yet who that might be. Watching the video showed that there are a lot of people in the neighborhood who are not fond of wind chimes. So I’m not sure but I do have some feelings…”
Dan rolled his eyes.
The captain took another bite of donut, “You mean like ‘woman’s intuition?’”
