the boys too, why does he not have any male bodies; he guesses it has something to do with the children born to these women more than with the girls themselves. Maybe he has a problem with boy children, like some other cultures do with their baby girls. It's all so strange and refuses to follow any normal patterns of criminal behavior he is familiar with.
And then something begins to click in his mind, the Director of the Mayan Cultural Preservation Foundation? There it is the answer he has been looking so hard to find. The girls are vessels for the continuation of the Mayan line! This case might just be some kind of KKK for a nearly wiped out ancient culture of violent warring tribes. An effort to bring back a dead civilization. They are breeders for a twisted egomaniac who thinks he is the answer to the rebirth of the entire culture! He is choosing women who have the look or the ancestry to bear "Mayan" children and then...what?… Wait until they are old enough to breed with him? At least there is the beginning of a motive in there somewhere. The ends certainly are not tied up yet and there are many threads of thought, but every step closer is something when you’re at zero. She has thrown him a bone, he knows he will get nothing more from her right now. Thanking her for her time he excuses himself and retrieves Jackson, who has been having a conversation with Thomas. Jackson gives the man a hug before walking out the door.
Walking to the car with serious faces, the two men don't even begin to discuss the events of the day until they are safely behind the doors of their vehicle.
"Thomas doesn’t have much except that his wife had been acting very strange, she refuses to sleep and if she does it is in the living room with the lights on. Though he thinks it strange, he also understands she might be reacting to the stress of losing their daughter." Jackson explains.
James gives him a detailed run through of the clue she gave him and hypothesizes "she might be afraid he will come after her as well. She knows more about what happened to her daughter than she is willing to say, of this I am certain."
"Peru?...That's worlds away, and just a bit out of our jurisdiction..how do we connect the dots? What is the next step? Jackson barks, frustration and curiosity oozing out into his tone of voice.
James replies with a typical cop's answer, “I intend to continue looking into the lives of each girl until something makes more sense. This is merely a ghost of a clue that needs much more substantiation to bring it out into the light. He will find the answers among the lives and homes of the other girls." Though he feels frustrated too, he tries to look strong and in control for his team-mate. He knows deep in his gut he has to solve this. There are too many things suggesting it isn't a onetime incident and it is likely others will die if he doesn't figure it out soon.
James isn't ready to make it a Federal case; he will lose control of the investigation if he takes to openly researching outside of his jurisdiction. The sheer facts of the case already make it a risky situation. There are multiple victims, making it a serial situation and missing children with the possibility of a kidnapping scenario already put it into a grey area that the Feds can decide is interesting at any moment. They have the ability to walk in and take him off the case any time they choose. He has to play his hand close to keep things in his court. This is far too intriguing of a puzzle to hand over. He doesn't want it to wind up in a box somewhere among the many other pissing contest cases the Feds have taken over in the past. If he thought they would do a good job, he would willingly take the help, but so many of the cases they have interfered with have wound up unsolved, sitting somewhere in a warehouse, where they will probably will never see the light of day again.
Something has come from each of the first two
