“That the FBI had offered him witness protection in exchange for his testimony? Had Ben shared with her that he was hiding out from people who wanted him dead?
“What exactly did Ben tell you?” Colin asked.
“That he had gotten himself into a bit of trouble down in New York and he needed to lay low for a while. He didn’t want anyone from his past life knowing where he was or they might put him in jail.”
“Not that someone would kill him if they knew where he was?” Chief Taylor asked.
“Oh, dear God, no,” Ella gasped. “Nothing like that. Why? How much trouble was he in?”
“A lot,” the chief replied. “It’s hard to believe he didn’t tell you all about it.”
“I guess he didn’t want to worry me.” Sadness filled her eyes as she lifted her gaze to the chief. “Do you think that’s what happened, that they found him and killed him?”
“Maybe.”
Colin took another look at the CDs on the bookshelf. “We really need to search your place for any evidence that could help us find whoever might have killed him.”
