The way the stranger—a young, recently discharged marine—claims to have stumbled across the girl's naked and abused body seems odd indeed. After all, why was he walking down the lane in a town where he had no reason to be anyway? Captain Heimrich knows some things about Miss Monroe's murder don't quite fit, but despite pressure from the townsfolk and media, he's not about to arrest Timothy Gates without a thorough investigation.
