Detective,
Martin Hendricks just confessed to killing Cora Reaver back in 1979. He got her when she was alone, walking the beach. He forced her into the ocean and let the water do the rest.
That “little brown ship” on his desk in his study must have belonged to her. I’m not sure if this will make Clarence feel better or worse, but I hope it gives him some sort of peace.
You’re good at this job, but be careful; these cases will follow you.
Stay sharp, detective.
