Chapter 638 Visit

Ten minutes later, Anthony's men sent a dossier.

Luke directly took the file and checked it. The file recorded the exact time of Burnett Coffey's murder on March 14, 1984. Thirty-nine years have passed since today.

The crime occurred at the Yateli Cemetery.

According to records in the file, Burnett Coffey entered the cemetery at 6 pm on March 14. Because he did not come out for a long time, the driver entered the cemetery to check and found Burnett lying on the ground with a crossbow stuck in his back.

, blood stained his clothes and the surrounding ground red, and then the driver went to the cemetery office and called the police.

Although the description in this section of the record is simple, Luke saw some problems.

The first is the place of death, the cemetery.

Similar to Burnett Coffey's identity, he should have a bodyguard. It would not be easy to kill him. He should have been well prepared when he chose to commit the crime in the cemetery.

This can also be seen from the tools for committing crimes. The power and convenience of crossbows are not as good as pistols, but their advantages are that they are quieter and less likely to be discovered, making it easier for the murderer to escape after committing the crime.

Another point is that it is a bit suspicious that Burnett Coffey entered the cemetery alone at six o'clock in the evening. Why would he enter the cemetery alone? And generally, people would not choose the time period of six o'clock in the evening when worshiping the deceased.

Burnett Coffey was most likely trying to stay out of sight.

Luke continued to read the file. The owner of the cemetery Burnett visited was named Grace Kamara. She was a black woman with a birth date of 1950 and a death date of March 14, 1982.

Grace Kamara also works as Burnett Coffey's secretary.

A boss went out of his way to pay homage to his secretary two years after his death, which shows that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

This may be that like father, like son, Burnett Coffey died next to the female secretary’s grave: Thirty-nine years later, his son died in the female secretary’s home, inheriting not only the family business, but perhaps

And have the same preferences.

According to the records in the file, after some investigation, the FBI found two suspects, Dolly French and Michael Kamara.

Among them, Dolly French had business dealings with the Coffey Group, and his company was eventually acquired by the Coffey Group due to poor management.

During the acquisition process, Burnett Coffey and Dolly French had some conflicts. Dolly French believed that Burnett Coffey used unfair means to deliberately lower the acquisition price, and even claimed that the company's funds

The reason why the chain was broken was that Burnett Coffey United Bank set a trap for him and repeatedly threatened to retaliate against Burnett.

However, after reading Dolly French's information, Luke believed that his suspicion of committing another crime was very small, because Dolly French was already fifty years old at the time and is now ninety years old.

The suspect, Michael Kamara, is the brother of Burnett Coffey's black female secretary.

The black female secretary was deemed to have committed suicide. She was only 32 years old when she died. According to FBI records, since the black female secretary committed suicide, her brother Michael Kamara has gone to the Coffey Group many times to make trouble, threatening to

Nate Coffey killed his sister.

According to Burnett Coffey's bodyguard, Michael Kamara once attacked Burnett and injured Burnett's shoulder, but Burnett did not call the police and asked the bodyguard to let him go.

After Burnett was killed, the FBI also investigated Michael Kamara, but he had an alibi and no time of crime.

After the case occurred, the FBI also visited many places around the cemetery to investigate, but because few people went to the cemetery at that time, no relevant clues about witnesses were found, which is why the case has never been solved.

After reading the file, Luke compared this case with the Silver Cross case and the murder of Gary Coffey, and felt that the three cases were related to a certain extent.

This case occurred only a few months apart from the Silver Cross case.

Secondly, Burnett and Garian Coffey are father and son. They were both chairman of Coffey Group when they were killed, and both had close relationships with their own secretaries.

Previously, Luke had a detailed understanding of the murder of Gary Coffey and the Silver Cross case.

However, the understanding of the Burnett murder case is limited to the files. Thirty-nine years have passed since this case. If you want to know more clues about the case, you can only interview the investigators and people involved in the case at that time.

However, the FBI agents responsible for investigating this case have retired, and those whose contact information can be found are either on medical leave or have passed away.

Luke focused on the people involved in the case, and after some investigation, he found the address of the black female secretary's brother.

Kariku Community, No. 305.

A black SUV drove into the community and parked in front of a house with gray walls and white windows.

The door of the SUV opened, and Luke got out of the car, looking at the environment of the community.

Xiao Hei walked to the door and looked around, "I like this community. This is great in the black community."

"That's right, I hope Michael Kamara hasn't sold this house." Luke motioned to Xiao Hei to call the door. The same skin color still has certain advantages.

Xiao Hei walked to the door of the courtyard and pressed the video doorbell.

After a while, a gray-haired black woman appeared in the video, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Hello ma'am, is this Michael Kamara's house?"

"Yes, what's the matter with you?"

Xiaohei replied, "We are the police and want to find out something about Michael Kamara."

The black woman asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"We are investigating a homicide and would like to ask him to assist in the investigation."

"Haha, murder? Are you kidding me?"

"No, ma'am, I'm serious about this. Is Michael Kamara home?"

"Of course, he can't go anywhere."

"Can you let us in?"

"OK, I also want to see how serious you are."

Then the door opened, and Luke and Xiao Hei walked into the yard.

The door opened, and a well-built black woman stood at the door, "Are you really the police?"

Luke flashed his police badge, "Yes, ma'am.

What is your relationship with Michael Kamara?"

"I am his wife."

"We would like to speak with Mr. Michael Kamara."

The black woman sighed, "I also want him to talk to you, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Madam, we won't delay too long."

The black woman curled her lips and said, "Come with me."

The black woman led the two people into the house. The living room was a bit messy, there was a wheelchair on the wall, and there was a smell of disinfectant. Luke instinctively raised his vigilance.

The black woman walked through the living room, led the two people to the back bedroom, opened the bedroom door, "Honey, a friend is here to see you."

Luke looked towards the bedroom. The room was a little dim, and there was a faint smell. An old black man was sitting beside the bed, with a bib hanging on his chest. His eyes were dull and he lowered his head slightly, not bothered by the sounds from the outside world.

In response, the corners of his mouth were a little crooked, and his left hand was curled up unnaturally.

Xiao Hei frowned and said, "Wow, he is Michael Kamara?"

"Yes."

"What's up with him?"

"He has been drinking alcohol all year round, and he suffered from cerebral thrombosis three years ago, and that's it.

He hasn't been out for a long time, and it's difficult to talk and walk, so I'm surprised that you want to find out about him." The black woman stepped forward, wiped Michael Kamara's saliva with a bib, and then closed the door.

Open the door and bring Luke and Luke into the living room.

"You two officers, would you like something to drink?"

"no thank you."

"I understand." The black woman shrugged, "In the past, the neighbors liked to come to our house as guests, but since my husband got sick, they don't even want to drink a cup of coffee, let alone eating."

Xiao Hei said sincerely, "Madam, we are just afraid of causing trouble to you. After all, not everyone welcomes the police to come to their door."

"OK, tell me why you're here.

My husband has hardly left the house since he got sick. What case can you learn from him?"

"The murder of Burnett Coffey in the cemetery thirty-nine years ago."

The black woman said helplessly, "Don't talk about my husband's condition now. Even if he is not sick, he doesn't want to talk to you about this case."

Luke said, "Madam, after Burnett Coffey was killed, your husband was also investigated as a suspect because of his conflict with him. Now we are re-investigating this case, and we also want to clear your husband's innocence.

"

The black woman looked towards the bedroom, "He is already like this, does it matter if he is innocent or not?"

Luke stood up and walked to the TV cabinet. There were two photos on it. The photo on the left was a family portrait of Michael Kamara. He was in a wheelchair in the middle, with his wife standing beside him, and a young man and woman.

Standing behind, the time written below the photo is July 2021.

The other is an old photo with a man and a woman, like a photo of Michael Kamara when he was young.

Luke picked up the old photo and asked, "Is this a photo of Mr. Michael Kamara and his sister?"

"Yes, this is the most precious thing my husband has.

He didn't like taking pictures when he was young, and this is the only photo he took with his sister."
