Charles handed Jessica another tissue. She dabbed her eyes. " Thank you".

Detective Mark Springer opened a small black notebook. " What time did Kelly leave the room to go jogging?".

" About 8:00 am". She dabbed her eyes again. " After her jog, she was planning on taking a shower and then driving home".

Charles noticed the two small burgundy suitcases by the front door. " She was already packed".

" Yes, she was excited to come home and spend the summer with the two of you".

Detective Springer walked over to a window and stared toward the park across the street. " Jessica, was Kelly familiar with the park as far as jogging is concerned?".

" Of course". She grinned. " She went jogging there a lot after classes were over".

" Do you remember what Kelly was wearing when she went on her jog?".

She thought for a moment. " I believe a yellow and white jogging outfit". Her voice hesitated. " And she was wearing a baseball cap".

Katie dabbed her eyes. " Jessica, is there anyone you know of who would want to hurt our baby?".

" No, everybody liked her".

Detective Springer looked up from his notebook. " Any boyfriends?".

" No". Jessica dabbed her eyes again. " If there was, she would of told me".

" That's all the questions I have right now". The Detective stood up and closed his notebook. " I'm going over to the park to look around".
