Helene had told Messinio that she was terrified, and she had lots of things that she wanted to tell the police.

And at one point, she seemed like she was on the verge of actually, you know, giving Messinio a name or just something really meaningful.

But then she'd literally just struggled to breathe and medical staff had rushed in to stabilize her and they hadn't been able to finish the interview.

Frison was so disappointed.

I mean, they'd been so close to maybe hearing the truth directly from the mouth of their victim.

And now they might never know.

It would turn out four days later, you know, before the police ever had a chance to have another interview with Helene, she died.

Two weeks after Helene's death, so in early June of that year, Frison parked his car and began to walk into the station to start his day.

And he was feeling incredibly anxious because Helene and Mohamed's case had really stagnated and Helene's death really only made the public pressure on him and his team way more intense.

Frison still had his team watching the shooters and tracing their phone calls, but so far they hadn't gotten any more leads from that.

They were also slowly chipping their way down the list of Helene's tenants,

but so far they hadn't found anyone with the kind of motive they were looking for.

Frison had not totally eliminated his first suspects, which were Gildo, Sylvia, and Wojciech, but he just didn't feel like any of them stood out above the rest.

Gildo potentially needed a windfall because of alleged money problems, although Frison had not confirmed that with bank records, but Gildo's poor health made it extremely unlikely he could have planned this hit.

Then there was Silvia, who was entitled to an enormous inheritance from her mother's death, but she already had a massive monthly allowance when her mother was alive and really did not seem desperate for cash at all.

And then as for Wojciech, he wasn't even married to Silvia, so he literally had no legal claim to the Pastore estate.

So Helene's death really didn't do him any good.

So all this was sort of going through Frison's mind as he stepped inside the station.

As he did, right away he saw Messinio come running towards him carrying a piece of paper.

And this paper was covered in lines of numbers that Frison immediately recognized as a call log.
