Investigation
Although Dale
Cavaness was a prime suspect to the detective who had handled Mark’s murder, it
remained an unsolved homicide. There was never enough evidence to charge
Cavaness.
Sean’s murder would
be a different story. The night before his murder, his father had been seen driving
around the area near Sean’s St. Louis apartment and parking when he spotted
Sean walking down the street. The couple who lived below Sean not only saw the
car, but also wrote down the license plate number on a paper bag because they
were alarmed by Dale’s hovering around the apartment. Their fears were calmed
as they watched Dale embrace Sean under a streetlight. They had met him several
weeks before and recognized him as Sean’s father. The couple had heard the sounds
of boisterous singing and laughing coming from upstairs until 3:00 A.M., when
two distinct sets of footsteps were heard leaving.
