He believed his career would turn the corner, and he’d be back on top. When her clothes were found in his truck, John was the main suspect. The police thought he had killed her. A lot of people thought he had. Suspicion driven by jealousy has a life of its own.John has to convince everyone that he didn’t kill Diana. He had liked her; she was distracting to his work, but he liked her anyway. He was certain that he hadn’t killed her. Well, almost certain.
