the dessert menu what would you think about miniature cream puffs great idea mother thank you they suddenly Urt to me hey Lisa what are these oh I pulled the receipt to ask for chocolate chip cookie boxes oh great thank you perfect you Fields you got a sec got a couple questions about Ronnie Ward how long had she been working at Heavenly Bodies uh almost 4 months and was she well-liked uh depends on who you ask Ronnie could be divisive yeah I mean I asked that because your car was vandalized recently and I know she didn't file a police report do you have any idea why no I don't know I encouraged her to but I think maybe she might have been embarrassed what was your relationship with Miss Ward she was a an employee a friend so strictly professional yeah and where were you last night I was visiting my sister in Maple Grove for the whole night yeah yeah I just got back to town this morning okay that's all we got for now if we have more questions we'll be in touch I have one more question was it usual to have a single staff member on an overnight shift uh no no usually we have two one on the desk and one on the floor and who was scheduled for that night I was I couldn't get coverage but Ronnie assured me that she he could handle it all by herself so the trip to visit your sister was a last minute decision yeah okay thanks for your time we'll be in touch I'll call the sister and see if his story checks out okay when it comes to a family member in trouble memories tend to get fuzzy we'll need footage on the tolls he would go through at least two before he hit Maple Grove and we'll need employee files background checks customer complaints I'm on it great while you do that I'm going to grab some lych you don't need me looking over your [Music] shoulder okay so this is a list of all the people who bought chocolate chip cookie boxes in the last 3 days with a credit card the were dozen more with cash okay we can't worry about that right now Margot Ross bought some for her mother Trina copelan was for a birthday party I think and then well Mark Shields he bu it doesen every Monday so that's seven unaccounted for so how do you figure out who bought the box

talk to him did you no of course not I talk to his wife the day before Ronnie's Murder She and Jacqueline Grant got in a big dust up at the bakery oh yeah about what well I don't know for sure but I

your area of expertise I'm a baker right I can't believe it the murder bump my interview right off the front page what is this world coming to oh it's buried under the classified Hannah nobody reads

think that yes well I would love to see that maybe some other time well when you're ready to start your search we're here when is your wedding date yes Anna when is your wedding date yes Ronnie and I had wordss the bakery I felt she had crossed a line what did she do exactly my husband and I both got memberships to Heavenly Bodies we wanted to make a positive change in the New Year suddenly Steven was going multiple times a week I hardly saw him and then I found out he'd been giving Ronnie Ward rides to work and money clearly she was using him were you aware that her car was recently vandalized I was not what are these I restore old jewelry it's a hobby they're beautiful I mostly do it for friends and family I feel most things can be saved with a little effort I know I lost my tempered detective but I only said to Ronnie would half the women in this town wish they had the guts to say Tores I'll do my best to have those alterations done by Friday I'm show lol's fashion Lounge I'm sorry the soonest opening I have is next Sunday I'm afraid it's the best I can do okay all right I'll see you then okay seems like you could use a hand I've really been stretched in with the party why do you know anyone who might be interested sue plotnik my friend deli's mom she's looking for a reason to get out of the house and to be around people well that's certainly in the job description perfect I used to have a help wanted sign up but it wasn't attracting the right candidates the last one asked if she could be paid under the table who is the applicant Ronnie Ward she was very KY about her past wouldn't give me references or agree to a background check I got the impression she was hiding something just came in take a look who's Veronica hman our Vic apparently Ward was her maiden name she was married she lived next door to you she ever mention a husband no no our conversations were usually just small talk in the mail room but never came up in any interviews either think she may have been hiding it for a reason [Music] [Music] find anything uh 77 cents and a bunch of hair ties let's keep looking I just don't understand it I mean where could my ring be I hate to be the wet blanket here but maybe it was stolen you did say that Mike's been dealing with thefts in town no I I I can't even think like [Music] that um we will you just stand on guard for a second there's nothing here why would you bring me in a filing cabinet no I'm looking for Ronnie's employment file but there's nothing I mean it just doesn't make sense no background check no tax forms so Ronnie was working off the books maybe Marco was more accomodating than the dress shop but why was it so important to her not to leave a paper trail maybe she wasn't looking for anything permanent maybe someone was looking for her let's [Music] go good evening oh I'm just so thrilled to have you all here thank you everyone for coming tonight I am so excited to share with you just a few passages from my debut

the new librarian that's great that's yeah that's good um can I help you absolutely oh who's first um well no no no go ahead please I insist okay thanks for sure I was wondering if I describe a bouquet to you could you tell me who purchased it I'm sorry I can't disclose that store policy but if you're interested in flowers we are running a special on a number of arrangements and all purchases come with a complimentary bed oh did you get a lot of repeat business with those oh quite a bit huh wow I was thinking about getting magnets from my shop I own the cookie jar the bakery down the road well pen always come in handy right totally so about that purchase I'm sorry I wish I could help but my hands are tied right yeah no you know I'm getting married soon and I'm going to be placing a big order I mean massive order of flowers um but where's your ring oh oh we're uh we're having it resized um it was my grandmother's s right oh yeah can I be honest with you Craig see the thing is is Hannah's dear mother has a secret admirer and we are just desperate to find out his identity so we might make a a little love connection between the two of them before our special day you know I know it's against our policy the small favor would mean so much it would mean a lot what was the order a dozen red roses purchased sometime on Wednesday okay that was such a quick thing right St yeah anytime of course you know I mean it Hanah I know things have changed between us but um you're very important to me and uh if you ever need anything you know anything at all just say the word I'm here we did have an order for a dozen roses place that day um they paid in cash when was the last time you saw your wife Mr Hoffman the night she left and when was that um day after Christmas I got her set a high in luggage and she decided to use it she gave you any reason for leaving Ronnie was always impetuous she often did things with little forethought or consideration of others and you never made any attempt to contact her she said she wanted space I was trying to honor her request I had hoped for reconciliation can I see her we can make arrangements I just I I can't believe this is happening sorry where were you the night of the 10th I hope you're not suggesting I had any involvement that's a very simple question I'd like an answer where were you the night of the 10th I was home in my bed can anyone confirm this I think that's the last question I'll be answering without a lawyer [Music] sorry Hannah no ring but I just got the okay from the police to reopen so I'm bringing in a cleaning crew before I do I'll let you know if they find anything thanks for keeping an eye out heavenly bodies no comment press has been hounding me non-stop looking for some mle on Ronnie's murder huh do you have an idea of who you think did it well it would be irresponsible to accuse someone without trof right of course I'm sure you must have someone in mind Brett Stevenson the fitness instructor he was harassing her at work when Ronnie told me I fired him on the spot harassing her how he was constantly asking her out at one point Ronnie thought he might even be following her Brett has a girlfriend though right isn't she a manager here yeah Katie she Works Administration downstairs she's a sweet girl but when Ronnie's car got tagged she was the first person I thought of Ronnie had her boyfriend fired so yeah he was Furious Tad had to escort him out of the building sorry Hannah um I promise I will let you know the minute your ring turns on okay yeah thank you okay [Music] thought I told you not to call me on this phone you'll get your money [Music] [Music] any word on locating Steven Grant his travel plans check out so we'll interview him when he gets back what you got there oh it's a burglary from earlier in the week somebody stole the money from the heavenly bodies Rec Center fundraiser you need another set of eyes on it no I got it under control thanks now why did I know you were going to say that I know you're type solo act you would rather carry the whole load than ask for help it's just um it's just a little bit easier when I handle things myself is it okay um this is from four nights ago here I just got the tape you thinking they're connected not sure what's he doing [Music] he's punching in the code well obviously it didn't work if he had to resort to a crowbar yeah but he thought it would which means he had inside information so if the thief worked there could Ronnie Ward have seen something that she wasn't supposed [Music] to all right all right ladies give me five more five four three more three two one more ladies okay good job some water I really felt those last 10 yeah me too you know in the first 20 if you two have any friends with some fitness goals tell them I'm their guy oh thanks great have you been get a lot of business not as much as I'd like I can't believe the gym let you go that makes two of us is it true that Ronnie had you fired you're there huh small town so is it true I was fired yes the reason you probably heard why no so you didn't make a pass at her look maybe I was a little friendly but I'm a friendly guy what she wanted my classes she was constantly begging Marco for more hours and I had the best time slots she wanted me gone so she lied worked didn't it must to made you angry okay I see what you're trying to do here trying to bait me into a confession do you have something to confess no the last day I saw Ronnie Ward was my last day at Heavenly Bodies I was happy to keep it that way and now every night she talks Non-Stop about the dress shop it's really brightened her spirits Hannah thank you oh I'm so glad that I could help half a dozen pistachio Winks thank you thanks Lisa what do you have here oh a few of us from Ronnie's spin class are collecting money for a donation in her memory would you like to contribute of course um wow that's really thoughtful and look at that it looks like you've gotten a great response yeah it's really been wonderful her class helped a lot of us she could be tough but uh she got results yeah I guess reputations aren't always Fair Ronnie was a very private person when you keep certain things to yourself others start filling in the blanks on their own some looked at Ronnie and saw what they wanted to see you know yeah yeah let me get this out of your way oh thanks oh your earring is a little loose thank you I got it from my aunt I had them refurbished well it's a really lovely color oh thank you uh it's called a deep oine oh if you have any old jewelry you just need to give her a few dollars for the solvent and spray paint sorry who did you say did the refurbishment [Music] [Music] fine it was me I spray painted her car I wanted to send her a message women like Ronnie think they can have anything they want but there's consequences like losing her life I didn't hurt her I just wanted to scare her and I would do it again are you a bridezilla take the quiz to find out let's do it oh don't you have somewhere else to be no so Mike told me that he wants to have a big wedding really doesn't really seem like his style I know I was surprised too it's just that we feel like we're on different wavelengths lately a normal are so in sync it's been hard to get even a minute alone together well you know what they say when things get hectic you just have to get creative all right good night we'll see you later hey you are a sight for Sor eyes I wondered if I might be able to take you up up on that rain check what that's perfect here here here sorry it's not like more romantic in here you were [Music] saying so you think that the theft and the murder might be connected maybe H the murder definitely feels more personal well that takes us back to Jacqueline Grant right she tagged Ronnie's car okay no more shop talk now we got to get into something really important first have an Ola and secondly the Quest for the perfect cream puff how's it going not great I've tried four different recipes and I just can't get it right really you're going to have a breakthrough I can feel it I hope so hey have you picked out an outfit yet for my mother's Regency Gala yeah last week you did you didn't tell me what did you pick out a costume I mean I hope it's tail coat I'm not going to tell you you got to wait and see it and it's awesome and you're going to love it a yeah I can't wait hey Hannah mhm when were you going to tell me you lost your rooming how detective I didn't lose it I really didn't lose it I know exactly where I left it just happens to be in the middle of a crime scene that crime scene Mike yeah you said that there was a box of chocolate chip cookies in Ronnie's Locker yeah those those aren't chocolate chip cookies those are chocolate chip Mega cookies and that's somehow different yes yes it's a completely different cookie can I can I borrow your phone yeah sure cuz they look pretty similar they don't look similar at all what are you talking about those are chunks chocolate chunks okay Lisa I'm going to need you to pull up a whole bunch more receipts great class today everyone see you next week hey Brett you got a sec really the cops well you told me that you hadn't talked to Ronnie in weeks what was I supposed to say I saw her the night she was murdered how's that look bad yeah so why were you there it it's been tough all right since I lost my job my bills are overdue my landlord threatened to evict me I thought maybe if I pled my case I could convince Ronnie to get my job back cookie seemed like a good way to butter her up and did she agree no she took the cookies and told me to get lost what time was that I don't know maybe nine Marco said that she thought that you'd been following her no I wasn't the one following following her who was some guy hanging around the gym know asking all sorts of things well what did he want he wanted to know where she spent her time who with did you tell him no that guy gave me the creeps and you're sure this is the guy that was following Ronnie yeah I saw him run a red light just to standard tail what' he look like average height not a lot of hair wore hat drove black car look am I free to go yeah thanks for your time you know I saw a guy that looked like that driving a black car in the parking lot at Heavenly Bodies the night that Ronnie was killed I think I may know who it belongs to two vehicles registered to Wade Hoffman we've got a red Mercedes and a silver Lexus no black car could have been a rental he were trying to be discreet Brett mentioned that he ran a red light to stick with Ronnie maybe one of your officers had an earlier encounter with her mystery man on a traffic violation I'm going to check the last two month citations thanks Roman Campbell pulled over for speeding 10 days ago you sure this is our guy private investigator a Wade Hoffman hired him been tailing Ronnie Ward for 3 weeks trying to get something incriminating for the divorce proceedings and he told you all of this without a subpoena Hoffman stiff him on his bill that'll do it yeah you find anything is that Marco Fields so much for strictly professional that's not all there's more take a look at the time stamp from the night of the [Music] murder I already told you everything I know did you it's not what you think what do I think we were involved yes but we were trying to keep it discreet I was her boss and Ronnie still had to get through her divorce you told us you were in Maple Grove these photos put you in Lake Eden 30 minutes before the murder I stopped into the gym to say goodbye then what then I left I drove to my sisters just like I said I [Music] swear Ronnie and Marco mhm and you think Marco did it well he lied never a good barometer for innocence these are fantastic yeah thank you I finally cracked it yeah you did I knew you would mhm there's something about Brett story that so bothers me he was desperate to get his job back and then he just takes no for an answer well I'm sure he Dam played his reaction a little doesn't mean it ended in Murder still he's a super slime ball for hitting on
