[Crime Scene] New Video: Raquel Santos is not happy

DEAR Visitor,

We executed those search warrants we got recently, and all the evidence we collected is now being analyzed by the lab.

Detective Armstrong and I also had a follow-up conversation with Raquel Santos about her boyfriend, Benito. She was not pleased – with us or with him. Even so, she did tell us a little more about what went on in her household around the time Philip Fontaine was murdered.

This update includes a follow-up interview with Raquel Santos and the inventories of what we found when we searched the Beecher, Coleman, and Flores/Santos residences.

Rather not write a theory?

You can still participate in the Whodunit Contest by voting in our polls. Tell us who the killer is, what the motive was, and more by casting your vote.

For Monday, we'll have a video and transcript of our follow-up interview with Benito Flores. We're also chasing down a lead that may tell us why Philip Fontaine withdrew that $15,000 from the bank on the day he was killed.

Detective Armstrong and I are starting to get that feeling that tells us we're close to identifying the killer. Do you have that same feeling, Visitor?

Stop by the comments or Ask the Detective and let us know what you think will help us solve the case.

All the best,

Det. Murphy
