Chapter 178 What's Your Beef?"

• "There's an old guy named Edgar Bell who lives about 200 yards down that dirt road from Sutton's mom. There are only five houses on that cul de sac and you know the other three residents are half dead with age and nobody was up that night. We couldn't reach Edgar because he has a habit of taking off from weeks or months at a time to visit relatives or just to RV around the country.
• "He came back into town two days ago and called us this morning. I went out to talk to him and I think we have the son-of-a-bitch. Edgar left town the day after Sheila was murdered and didn't hear anything about it until he got back into town. He hates Sutton's mom because of some boundary dispute they've been squabbling about for years. And he hates Sutton.
• "But he's clear as a bell. He was up at midnight the night Sheila was killed. He remembers very distinctly Sutton's MOTHER's car pulling down the road, slowly, with its LIGHTS OFF. He thought that was very weird. The old lady never goes anywhere at night.
