Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back (Leanne Castillo) novel Chapter 410

"Do you have his contact info?"

"No. We exchanged numbers then, but it was ages ago. With all the phone swapping, you had to save numbers manually back in the day. It's long gone." Violet asked, "You need him for something?"

Leanne said, "I wanted to ask about the case again."

Violet sighed, wanting to encourage her to move on and understanding it was easier said than done.

Leanne was so young then, witnessing the gruesome scene of her parents' demise, which must have left her with psychological trauma.

And after all these years, with the culprit still at large, how could the family move on?

"Even if I had the number, odds are he’s changed it by now." Violet tried to remember. "All I recall is that we call him Officer Wilbur."

Through a connection with a friend whose sister worked at the precinct, Leanne tracked down Officer Wilbur.

He'd retired for years. When Leanne called him, introducing herself, she half-expected him to have forgotten about a case from twenty years ago. But before she finished, Wilbur said, "Oh, it's you."

They met at a coffee shop, and Wilbur dressed how you would picture a retired gentleman spending his days in the park, with thick eyebrows and a determined gaze.

He looked Leanne over with a pleased expression. "Saw your picture in the news a few days ago. You haven't changed a bit since you were a kid."

Leanne's tense mood eased a little. "You remember me?"

Wilbur regretted, "I'm sorry, child, that after all these years, we've still not caught the perpetrator."

"The one you found," Leanne asked, "Did he have a mole on his hand?"

Hanley was unrelated if the deceased was the man with the mole in his hand.

Under her gaze, Wilbur shook his head. "You mentioned this detail back then, and I did check it. No mole."

A flicker of hope in Leanne's heart extinguished.

Wilbur handed her the notebook. "This was my notebook from back then. All the details of the case are here. If there's a chance, I still hope to help find your parents' killer."
