There was and -- -- one call that was placed the from a worker inside of April's homes saying that I she was shot multiple times in the bedroom.

Judge this tells me that the police know who the killer is all they've got to do is connect a few more dots and that's suspect that individual.

There's probably 124 hour surveillance so that's why people need not fear.
