On his victim's girlfriend, Amber.

The next morning on Monday, when Amber still had not returned Jimenez's phone calls, he tried her again.

And this time, his call went straight to voicemail instead of ringing like it had the day before.

This meant her phone had shut off.

Jimenez wasn't sure what to make of this.

It was possible that Amber's cell phone had simply run out of batteries.

In 2003, that wasn't that unusual to have your phone die and just sort of go without your phone for a while.

Also, people did periodically just turn their phone off and not return calls.

It was just a different time.

But with every hour that went by that day without getting a call back from Amber, Jimenez couldn't help but get more suspicious.

Finally, the next day on Tuesday, Jimenez got a phone call.

When he picked it up, he hoped it was going to be Amber.

But it wasn't Amber.

It was Amber's boss, who Jimenez didn't know and had not called.

And Amber's boss, who said she had heard about the murder on TV, had a story that changed everything Jimenez thought he knew about this case.

The boss said that Amber worked for her as a bookkeeper at a charity called Child and Family Resources.

And Amber was usually very reliable.

But on Thursday, so a day before the murder, Amber had called out of work for what she said was a family emergency.

She had been supposed to return a day ago, on Monday, but she hadn't shown up.

And so Jimenez scribbled all this down, thinking that Amber did seem to make a pretty good suspect after all.
