At three o'clock Logan checked that Henderson would be at home.On their way over to Hope Terrace Logan explained to Grant her thoughts about The Meadows.

'It's quite well lit， The Meadows，' said Grant.'I mean， there aren't many dark corners where you can hit someone over the head， tie them up and take them away.'

'No，' said Logan.'I don't think that's what happened.I think the killer must have picked the girls up there and taken them somewhere else.Either the killer is very good at persuading people to go with him or else the killer knew both the girls.And the girls weren't afraid of him.'

'Or her，' finished Grant.

'Right，' said Logan.'Now， Fran Stewart went missing on a Saturday night.I think it's very unlikely that there would be any sort ofregular pattern of movement through The Meadows on a Saturday night — you know， people who go through at the same time every Saturday.There's just people going out to pubs and clubs and restaurants，which they may or may not have done the week before.'

'But Rutherford went missing on a Tuesday night，'said Grant.

'Exactly，' said Logan.'And it's Tuesday again tomorrow.Tuesdays are far less busy than Saturdays and there may be regular traffic — people going to and from work， regular Tuesday activities， that sort of thing.So tomorrow evening from， Let's say， nine thirty to twelve thirty， I want to stop everyone in The Meadows and ask them if they saw anything unusual the week before.'
