Upon entering the police station, Thea Shaw discovered where the problem lay.
Apple Hale's husband and son were dead.
The foul smell Thea detected that afternoon probably emanated from them.
Because the deaths were so mysterious, the police took them to the hospital for an autopsy.
The report isn't out yet, so they are first investigating for clues.
As Thea was involved in a conflict with Apple Hale's husband at noon, she was understandably considered a suspect.
Even though no one reported it at the time, now that they're dead, some videos taken by people have become direct evidence.
However, upon reviewing the footage, the police saw that Thea's actions were out of moral duty, with no tricks involved.
Yet, upon seeing a long list of records detailing Thea's frequent appearances at the station...
She's quite a character!
