Truce started sifting through the case files. They were quite thick. A lot of evidence, it appeared. Lists with persons of interests. Suspects. Statements. Why had Cook been in posession of case files, that were six to seven years old? Were those files closed?
Cook was listed as investigating officer for both cases. He had been responsible for interviews of several persons of interest. The missing persons were one Thomas Wilkins, 21 years of age, medical student and one Charlene Thompson, age 23 and a promising college hockey player, that might turn professional one day.
It was a lot of material. And Truce wasn't sure, if the reports were entirely complete. Regarding Hollis Cooks involvement in the murders, it was entirely possible, that these files were devoid of all hard evidence, which would incriminate Jim Denton or Hollis Cook themselves. Was that Cooks story? Did he tell people, that this was his "hobby-case"? Something which had been dismissed as unresolved but deemed to be not worthy of the police departments time, because more pressing cases needed attention?
Sighting and evaluating the files to get another lead would require an extended Intelligence + Investigation roll with a base of 5 successes and an increment of 30 minutes per roll. Finding related newspaper articles would be a simple Intelligence + Computer roll.
