“It’s my fault James. I never should have gone to the conference. The police have taken the security tapes. I have no idea what happened. Melanie claims Ivy sent her to Andy’s for food. She says she locked the door on her way out, when she came back Ivy was nowhere to be found and the delivery door was open. She says she was gone about half and hour. I’m sorry James, for all of it.”
