Chapter 49

Jon reentered the courtroom, resolutely made his way to Trewe and handed the videotape to him.

"What's this?"

Jon leaned forward and whispered, "The beach tape. Fellow found it on the cliffs. I haven't seen it as I didn't have a VCR, but the boy says Annie is on it."

Trewe growled, "Do say."

"Excuse me, gentlemen," the coroner said. He and the video expert glared from the front of the room.

Trewe nodded in Mr. Ackerman's direction, and turned to whisper. "We'll need to record the tape's receipt."

Jon nodded. "I will get it in writing how the young man found it and all."

Trewe stood up.

Mr. Ackerman stared pointedly at him. "Detective Chief Inspector Trewe?"

"Sir. We have just been presented with a videocassette, which may contain possible evidence. We haven't been able to review it as no one has a VCR."
