WITH the profile in hand, the direction of the investigation began to narrow.
Dr. Stevens had described someone organized and careful, a man who planned his actions and chose victims who lived quiet and isolated lives. The victims themselves had already pointed the investigation toward Greyhaven Central Hospital. All three had received treatment there, and two had attended therapy sessions regularly in the psychiatric department.
At the start, the police had talked to people who had direct contact with the victims. Doctors, nurses, and therapists who treated them were questioned in the early days of the case. Those interviews did not lead anywhere. The victims did not know each other, and none of the staff seemed to have any personal issue with them.
The next step took longer to figure out.
