At 3:47 am, the employee saw that she had disappeared and decided to call the police.

Later, at 4:24, Mr Mckerslen was called by the police about his wife. But he couldn’t go to the petrol station because the policeman said that it was too dangerous.

The next morning, he went to the police station to prove that he was not guilty.

‘Hello Mr. Mckerslen, I’m sorry for your wife but where were you when the kidnapping was committed?’

‘I was at home and was reading a book’

‘At 3:00am?’

‘I’m an insomniac’

‘Well, and when did you see her for the last time?’

‘Before she went to work’

Were your children sleeping?’

‘Yes, they went to bed at 8pm’

‘What proves that you were at your house that night?’

‘My wife and I have got only one car for both of us’

‘Mm…Thank you for your honesty’

‘It’s your turn Mrs Evy Brown, so what were you doing that night ?’

‘I was at my boyfriend’s house for a party’ she said crying.

‘And when did you go back home?’

‘I went back home at 3:40am’

‘Did you have a fight lately?’

‘Yes, but it was not serious’

‘What for ?’
