On the other end of the phone, a slightly rough female voice came through.
"3:22 PM..." Nellie murmured.
That time was more than three hours before the teacher, Toddy, was murdered. That was enough time for someone to drive from downtown Los Angeles back to the small town.
She quickly asked, "Mayfair, can you confirm that it was Slip who swiped the card?"
"Positive! I asked my boyfriend, based on the card records, to check the place out. He discovered it was a back-alley clinic. Nellie, you know my boyfriend is a Los Angeles detective, so they were very cooperative. According to the clinic doctor's account, Slip brought a girl with a very exaggerated figure for an abortion. The time they left was around 5 PM. You can check the surveillance footage at the town entrance for that timeframe."
"Thank you, Mayfair, I'll take you out for a meal later!"
She hung up the phone.
