First Chance

by James Oliphant

"The killer is average looking, carries a lot of cash and listens to gospel music. I believe he had a strict upbringing which involved the church. There may have been some form of sexual abuse in his childhood... vaginal penetration is rare. He uses condoms. He frequents hookers; not the pricey ones you find in North Shore publications, but the typical street walking crackhead. We believe he took a liking to the Ferry girl. According to her pimp, he was a regular which explains the brutality of this murder; he fell in love with his prey, so she got the worst. He leaves his victims sprawled out to resemble Christ on the cross....”Sebastian ChanceLead Homicide Detective for C.H.E.S.S.The Chicago Homicide Evaluation and Support Squad
