The Deadroot Murder House, part 11
September 3 — I’m at the house by 6 AM. Except there’s no house. Just an empty lot of churned-up earth. Surrounded by bulldozers, backhoes and excavators that must have been dropped off the night before. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think the job was already done.

After desk duty was over they put me on overnight shifts and even though it’s not part of my patrol, I’ve been finding excuses to take a swing through Deadroot and past the Starling house. Other than the police tape being taken down, n...
