The police promptly verified with the other two roommates, both confirming that upon their return, Vanessa was indeed still searching for the bracelet. At that time, they had also collectively scoured the dorm room for an extended period.

With leads seemingly exhausted, the police surveyed the scene, trying to uncover fresh clues.

“Let’s conclude it here since we’ve found the bracelet,” Vanessa suggested, reluctant to delve further.
