Detective Karl Jenkins receives a concerning call from Detective Santos of the Adelaide CIB, providing an update on the search for Luke Smith and his family.
As the day winds down, Detective Karl Jenkins receives a call from Detective Santos of the Adelaide CIB. The information relayed during the call is concerning, adding further complexity to the already perplexing case surrounding Luke Smith and the disappearances.
Detective Santos informs Karl that upon arriving at Luke's parents' house, they found no one present. The property showed no signs of forced entry, and both family cars were still parked at the residence. Neighbours reported seeing a young man matching Luke's description arrive at the house before lunch, but no unusual activity or departures were observed.
The only potentially significant piece of information was the discovery of a single drop of fresh blood on the shed door. Forensics teams have been dispatched to thoroughly examine the house and property for any traces of human remains or other evidence.
Karl shares the update with Sarah, expressing his frustration at the lack of concrete evidence and the precision of Luke's actions. The detectives acknowledge the bizarre nature of the case and the need for a breakthrough that could provide the answers they desperately seek. Despite the grim update, they remain resolute in their pursuit of justice, even as the complexity of the case continues to test their skills and partnership.
