‘I’ve found a bank statement. Joint account.’ Simbeck was leafing through the pages. ‘Three months to the end of September. Regular stuff to start with, a supermarket, some other local shops. Then I’ve got a transaction at Tesco Lee Mill for forty quid exactly. Fifteenth July. Petrol.’
‘Where the hell is Lee Mill?’
‘No idea, but it’s not round here.’
‘Anything else?’ Tatershall asked.
‘A cashpoint withdrawal same day. Fifty pounds. Dartmouth.’
‘Dartmouth? Well that’s this one sussed. They’re on bloody holiday! Case solved, closed, finito. I’ll buy you lunch in the pub and then we can get back, and if you are a good girl I’ll let you do the paperwork.’ Tatershall struggled to push himself upright from the embrace of the soft leather sofa.
‘I don’t think so, sir. There are a couple more standing orders but no more EPS transactions. The cash withdrawal was over four months ago now. Since then nothing.’
‘They are using the cash.’
‘Fifty quid, boss? You’re joking, right? Think about how far fifty quid would go if you were on holiday here. Can’t see Dartmouth being much different.’
‘Could be they lost the card and are using another bank account or a credit card.’
‘Could be. But why, when you live here, would you go on holiday in Dartmouth? It’s a hundred miles away, but not much of a change. And for four months? What would they be doing over there all this time? You are forgetting the gallery too. They wouldn’t leave it unattended.’ Simbeck was looking through the rest of the mail. ‘I don’t buy that. Call it women’s intuition, superior detective ability or whatever you like, but I think something has happened to them. I don’t think this story has got a happy ending. Here, look at this.’
