And so basically, neither man could be ruled out.
They were kind of like equally primary suspects at this point.
And on top of that, the additional information that Tabitha had been a regular at a strip club
just raised a lot of additional questions.
He realized he really needed to speak to someone who really knew Tabitha.
Five days later, on July 19th, 2003, Sergeant Sienna stood inside of a cemetery at the back of a group of mourners and watched as Tabitha Bryant's casket was lowered into the ground.
Sienna had come to Tabitha's funeral not only to pay his respects, but also because he was looking for her half-brother, Cyril, and he had two reasons he really wanted to speak to him.
First of all, he thought Cyril might have some additional unique insights into Tabitha's various relationships.
I mean, Cyril had lived with Tabitha and Kevin and their kids earlier that year, and Sienna had heard that Cyril and Tabitha were quite close.
And so maybe she had shared some additional insights that he would know.
But the second reason for wanting to speak to Cyril was recently, Sienna had also begun to look at Cyril as being maybe a potential suspect.
So Sienna had spoken with a number of Tabitha's friends.
And from those interviews, Sienna had learned that Cyril and his girlfriend Cassidy were also both regulars at that same strip club that Tabitha went to.
And then on top of that, Sienna knew that, you know, Cyril and Cassidy had been caught using drugs by Tabitha and Kevin.
And that's why they had been booted from the house just a few months ago.
And so who knows, there could be some bad blood there.
And so this made Sienna wonder if Tabitha's murder might've had nothing to do with her affair and everything to do with, you know, very likely some fight that she had had with Cyril and Cassidy when she caught them and kicked them out.
But now, as Sienna scanned the funeral crowd, he didn't see anybody who matched Cyril's description.
And so when the service ended and all the mourners began making their way out to the parking lot, Sienna hustled over to Tabitha's mother
And he asked her, had Cyril attended the funeral?
