tweets to do with location and several appeared. She asked for pictures related and up came about six. They looked at the views that appeared. Bradley said. “I know that place. It’s near the recreation woodland.” He rang his boss and passed this on. Jones replied that the tech people seemed to be on the same track and had triangulated it to a certain area.
     
    The door opened and Adam Oscorascos stepped inside. “Oh wonderful.” Claire said and jumped up to give him a hug. “Have a seat.” Kassie urged. “I’ll get you a sandwich and a drink.”
     
    “How do you feel?” Karl asked and Adam told everyone that the hospital had told him was fine and just to take things easily for a few days. He took the offered sandwich and sat down. “This.” Claire said looking at the police officer. “Is Officer Bradley who is instructed to watch over me like a hawk.” Adam held out his hand. “Pleased to meet you.” He said and asked what the situation was.
     
    Bradley said “Call me Jon.” And related what they had found so far. Once Adam was brought up to date and took in the implication of a possible murderer on the loose, he looked at the pictures they had found, he asked if they had a name for these people who tweeted and Jon Bradley brought them up on the tablet. “If we look in the local directories, he might be using his real name.”
     
    “Why the hell did I not think of that?” Bradley said and Kassie was already speeding her fingers across the keyboard. “Yes.” She shouted. “In that area. Same name and the address at a wood yard.” Bradley rang his boss and relayed the information. The police department found that a man and wife and son were registered at that address.
     
    The police department came back with the information that the man lived at home with his parents. They were going to check it out.
    Adam said “I suppose there is no chance of the three of us going to watch.” Claire grinned at him and asked if he would recognise his attacker if he saw him. He said “I would know his build and size, even if I didn’t see his face.” They looked hopefully at Bradley who said “Okay but you two do not get out of the car.” They nodded and picked up jackets.
     
    Kassie said. “Keep me in the loop.” And gave Claire a quick hug as she left. ”Could you do me a favour and ring my cousin, Val. Just bring her up to date please?” Jon Bradley did ring in and tell the department what he was doing and where he was going.
     
    The area pinpointed by the police and the telephone directory was out of town and very rural. The wood yard was set apart from other properties and Adam remarked that if you used heavy machinery, it would be as well to not have neighbours. They pulled up behind two police cars already at the property and Jones came out to see them. “As far as we can see this place is deserted. Doesn’t look very lived in. I’ve sent someone to question the nearest neighbours.”
     
    “Can we look?” Claire asked. Jones thought about it and nodded.
    “Be careful and stay together. It looks deserted but you never know.” They approached the drive with caution. Everywhere was quiet and still. There certainly did not appear to be any signs of life. The trappings of a wood yard were everywhere around the property with big piles of heavy looking logs. They were felled trees in huge numbers stacked everywhere and the machinery that was used to move them was standing still, rusty and silent. The remains of a big wagon stood lopsided and falling apart. It was eerie and disused.
    Claire held Adam’s hand and Bradley walked on the other side of her as they slowly stepped around the outside of the property. The detectives had already been this way and were now checking the outbuildings and heavy machinery. They had knocked and shouted with no response at the house and had no real reason to make a forced entry. The officer who had been to the nearest neighbour came back to say that the man
