He needed a name to get a search warrant. The survience camera showed nothing but Mac just thought if it was a cold case investigator he or she might have gotten what they wanted from the file room bebore he installed the survivance equipment. He was becoming fraustrated that not one piece of evidence had came up in their search After a couple of days it seemed that the murders had stopped.
The sheriff, Kim, and Mac was beginning to think that this vigilante case might become a cold case also. Finally the blastic on the bullet came back that the gun used in the current murder case was the same gun used in the cold case file of Holly Corbin. They were running the bullet through the FBI data base to see if the gun had been used in any other case. The FBI told them it might take awhile. They were back at sitting and twindling their thumbs while playing the waiting game again. Kim was driving to a store in the next town over when she passed a mulitary surplus store and thought Mac had been wanting a pin for a buddy of his that was a vetern and decided to stop back in after she did her shopping.
On her way back she stopped in at the surplus store and was looking at the pins when she spotted a whole box of handcuffs. She decided to buy the whole box and strike up a conversation with the salesman. She found out that the salesman father goes to this liquidation sale up north and buy storage containers of all sorts of military and police surplus items then every so often puts them out for sale. They don't usually ask the person for their ID when they sale little items like this unless it's a whole box. She showed him her ID and asked him if anyone had been in and bought handcuffs. He said yes there had been a man but since he only bought seven and said it was decorations for a retirement party for a friend who was retiring from the police force He didn't got his name but he was sure that he had used a debit card.
