He mustn’t give up yet!!! There’s a killer out there. He needs to investigate. If the town found the bodies of the other murdered people, there’s no reason to assume his family is dead, since there are no bodies. You need to clear up the pet killing charges. That could come back to hurt you- - your credibility, as well as your life. We all know killers often start with small animals. Get busy investigating the town. Any trustworthy friends to help? Tell me what you find out. Good luck.
