Chapter 9

Kat's POV

"I don't know what you guys are talking about. I didn't kill anyone."

"We have proof that you did." Morgan said. "The knife that you had hidden in your dresser drawer tested positive for blood. Your ex-girlfriend, the one you were stalking, was found murdered in her house, killed the exact some way the other girls were."

"The knife is circumstantial, but you have nothing connects me to Kelsey's death." Calm.

"Your DNA is being compared to the epithelial tissue found under Morgan Bell's fingernails. That along with testing the knife will connect you to the murders along with MO and the descriptions from their exes."

"Once again I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Roughly a week before the murder if each girl you talked to the guy they dumped. Each of them gave a description of a man who approached them at a bar and talked to them about their recent relationship troubles. All the descriptions are consistent and they all match you."

"There are plenty of guys in this city who look like me."

"One of them remembered a name, your name." That made him shut up and think. "Look man, right now you have two options. Keep your mouth shut and wait for the DNA results to come back. Or, you can come clean now and we can say you cooperated. Your choice."

Salazar considered for a moment. Then said, "They brought it on themselves."

"Just because they ended a relationship?"

"They spent so much time with those guys, one of them was even married, and then they just tossed them aside like they meant nothing."

"Like how you felt Kelsey treated you?"

He nodded. "I loved her. And she just broke it off and moved on like it didn't matter. I tried to convince her to get back together, and then she took out a restraining order. Claimed I was stalking her."

"So you got mad your girlfriend dumped you and decided to take it out on other girls?"

"Girls that were like her. Girls who deserved it. But in the end it wasn't enough, so I killed her too."

Ladies and gentlemen we have a confession.
