Jack's father James gave him the detectives business card. He didn't tell Viola about his conversation. If it pan out and Jack was no longer the main suspect she would be thrilled to death , but if it didn't it would tear her heart apart even more so He didn't know how many times he thought about on his way home. he even had a conversation with the Lord. It wouldn't just be more heartbreaking to Viola but also to him and Jack.
The next day he went and talked to both detectives about his trip to Roscarbery. Detective O'Brien came down pretty hard on him and said are you saying we don't know how to do our job. Why don't you tell Jack to give up his shenanigans and tell us where the children is. It will get harder on him the longer it goes. Jack's father just looked her in the eye and replied Not with police like you. I can tell you are diffinately for women even if they the guilty party. I wonder how many women have gotten away with murder because of you.
He left there knowing nothing was going to happen. Detective Reagan caught up with him and told him he was trying to do everything possible to clear Jack. On Jack's arraignment day the bail was set at one million dollars and would be made to wear an ankle bracelet and on house arrest and not allowed to be anywhere close to Melissa. Jack would be force to leave his pub and apartment and move back in with his parents.
Before they could arrange bail the reporters released that he had made bail and was out again and they would update when they had more news. Rudolph found another letter in the mail box.
I WANT ME GOLD 20,000 GOLD DOLLARS PER CHILD.IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT THEN YOU DECIDE WHICH ONE LIVES AND WHICH ONE YOU GIVE TO ME TO KILL OR SELL INTO SEX TRAFFICING.
LEPRECHAUN
Rudolph gave the letter to Melissa. It upset her to where she was crying when the detectives came to get the letter. Detective Reagan told his partner of the way jack isn't out yet so where did this letter come from. Detective O'Brien looked at dumbfounded and said his accomplice of course. She had already made up her mind for get go without any evidence to the contrary.
the only real evidence if all was the knife they found in the pub's kitchen. It had Jack's finger prints on it but the blade had been wiped clean. He explained that he had used it to slice the corn beef then cleaned it to cut the cabbage then cleaned it and put it back in it's place. That was the same type of knife used to kill Allison. They bagged it as evidence and could explain in court that was just an excuse he was using to have gotten rid of the evidence.
