BRIDGET'S CIRCLE AND POSSIBLE SUSPECTS
Son-In-Law
Gabe Bell
Bridget appeared to suspect Gabe of involvement in local robberies. His statements suggest involvement in acquiring items for Bridget, potentially outside the law. If he were caught stealing items worth as much as $80k, he would have faced significant prison time, making him a prime suspect.
Close Friend
Cassandra Montgomery
A writer for the Hill's Chronicle and mentioned as a customer on the library check-out card. Her preferences and purchases might be relevant. Cassandra's interest in Bridget's shop and her potential access to information through her writing could make her a person of interest.
X-Husband
Felix King
Bridget's former husband, Felix, has shown interest in reconciling with her. However, Bridget's decision to move on with her life creates a backdrop of unresolved emotions. As the investigation unfolds, Felix's role in this complex web of relationships may become more significant.
New Client
Olivia Smith
Olivia scheduled an appointment with Bridget to discuss the Mirages Tear, a valuable artifact. Olivia denies ever meeting Bridget or visiting her shop. What adds to the suspicion is the discovery that the Mirages Tear is missing from the inventory list. This raises questions about Olivia's motives, particularly given the item's significant value.
X-Employee
Summer King
Summer played a crucial role in discovering SORA's records. There might be undisclosed information about Summer's involvement in Bridget's activities. She had a history with Bridget, which soured due to an affair with Bridget's husband. Summer's interest in Gabe and her frequent visits to the antique shop raise suspicions.
Mia's Husband
Cliff Jones
Bridget's employee and Mia's husband played a crucial role in the timeline of events. His presence and the fact that Bridget disapproved of his actions prior to her murder make him a person of interest in the investigation. He was the last person to see Bridget alive and may have had knowledge of the shop's inheritance plans
Boyfriend
Donny West
Bridget's relationship with Donny is complex. His behavior might hide important clues. Donny was intimately involved in Bridget's life as her boyfriend at the time of her murder. His possible involvement in shady dealings and connections to the mysterious woman in red raise question
Daughter
August Bell-King
Bridget's daughter, August, continues to be a significant figure in the case. Her strained relationship with her father, Gabe, and the recent developments in the investigation suggest that hidden details within this family dynamic could hold crucial clues to Bridget's murder.
Best Friend
Mia Jones
Bridget's best friend, takes on a more prominent role in the investigation. Recent revelations hint at undisclosed information concerning her husband, Cliff's actions. However, Mia and August were together from between 7 pm and 1 am the next day.
Client and Friend
