The sheriff's office, the jails, the hospitals.
Sent out a teletype and an APV.
She's been gone almost a week and nobody's seen her.
Now, how's that add up to you?
Well, we got an idea.
Yeah.
I hope I'm wrong.
8.45 a.m.
Ed and I left the office and continued making the rounds of the missing woman's friends and relatives.
We checked at the Western National Bank where Mrs. Abbott maintained another account.
Her savings statement showed a total balance of $31,564.17.
Her checking account had a balance of $842.71.
At the Farmers Mutual, we found the record of an insurance policy issued to Florence Trumbull Abbott.
It was a 20-pay life policy covering the insured in the amount of $30,000.
The beneficiary was listed as the insured's son, Bruce Trumbull Abbott, if living upon receipt of such do-proof.
If not, the insured's husband, Chester J. Abbott.
By the time we finished checking the missing woman's financial status, we figured we had a fair suspect in the husband, Chester Abbott.
From casual reports, we knew he was a frugal man, almost to the point of obsession.
If he was greedy as well, if he wanted or needed money badly enough to kill,
Then he had all the motives necessary to murder his wife.
