“You’re telling me that a man with your abilities couldn’t sneak into this theater?” Dillon pressed.
“I didn’t kill him,” Turner said, sidestepping the question.
“You must admit, you’re coming off as our most promising suspect,” Ragland said.
“I don’t want to talk about this anymore,” Turner said.
“That’s your right,” Ragland said, “but it would be in your best interest to tell us anything you know that can help take you off our list of suspects.”
“I think I should talk to a lawyer.”
While David Turner was being interviewed, Tamara Robinson started talking to Henry Schloss.
“What’s your position at the theater, Mr. Schloss?”
“I’m security at the stage door.”
“That opens into the alley, right?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“How many exits are there besides the stage door?”
“There’s the doors at the front of the Imperial, some emergency fire exits, and a loading dock in the back.”
“Have you been on duty since Mr. Chesterfield’s show started rehearsals?”
“Yes.”
“Did you notice anything unusual tonight or during the week?”
“Well, there’s those protesters. They’ve been shouting and causing a ruckus all week.”
“Have you seen any of them in the theater?”
“No.”
“Were you on duty at the stage door while the show was going on tonight?”
“Yes.”
“Did anyone leave or come in while the show was going on?”
“No.”
“Okay. Can you remember anything unusual going on inside the theater this week, during rehearsals?”
Schloss thought for a minute. “There were two things that come to mind. On the first day of rehearsal, a woman got into an argument with Mr. Chesterfield. I don’t know what it was about, but I could hear raised voices.”
“Do you know the woman’s name?”
“No, and I just saw her from a distance. I’m not certain I could ID her.”
“Okay. Now, you said there was a second incident.”
Before Schloss could answer, the door to Mr. Chow’s office opened, and David Turner walked out with Carrie Anders and Peter Ragland behind him.
Schloss’s eyes widened and he pointed at Turner. “That guy tried to talk his way into the theater early this week when they were rehearsing.”
