Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 331

"Where did she vanish?" Colin asked, his voice laced with a mix of concern and frustration.

Finn, hot-headed as ever, lunged forward, attempting to grab Colin but missed as Colin sidestepped him smoothly.

"Stick to the facts, man. No need to get physical," Colin grumbled.

With a dismissive snort, Finn pointed to the clue-laden whiteboard. "Melody disappeared around 2:30 PM at I-Futura Park. She went shopping with Dexter before she went missing."

The grainy images from the security footage flickered on the whiteboard.

"Dexter had left earlier to hit the hospital, and then he got the call that Melody was missing from the mall. That's when he dialed 911."

Colin studied the footage, noting how Melody entered the ladies' room and never came out. It was as if she'd vanished into thin air, spirited away by unseen hands.

"There's no secret exits or doors near the restrooms, and the cameras caught zilch – no suspicious characters, no sign of Melody leaving. We've asked the janitorial staff too; nobody saw a thing," Finn said, his voice heavy with gravity.

Dexter scoffed, "That's the best the cops can do?"
