“So Miss Kippenberg doesn’t like questions?” Jerry asked. “And she refuses to notify the police? Well, after we publish our story in the Star it won’t be necessary. The police will come to do their own investigating.”
“I can’t really believe she is trying to deceive the authorities,” Penny said thoughtfully. “She seems to have a sincere regard for Grant Atherwald.”
“It may be pretense.”
“She wasn’t pretending the day of the wedding. Atherwald’s disappearance was a great shock to her.”
“Well, even so, she may know a lot more than she’s putting out.”
“I think that myself. She closed up like a clam when I talked about her father.”
The car came to the main road and a short time later entered the town of Corbin. As they stopped for a red light, Penny touched Jerry’s arm.
“Look over there,” she directed. “See those two men standing in front of the drugstore?”
“What about them?”
“They’re G men who attended the Kippenberg wedding. Salt pointed them out to me.”
