the husbands always do it, and they just seem like they zeroed in on him and we re going into 110 miles an hour, and we re not respectful to my brother and i about any developments or anything going on. but detective carter had an ongoing investigation and he felt there was ample reason to pursue their dad. after his interview with diana, he d driven in the hotel, and there he uncovered a bombshell. remember keith saying to the detective you ve been at the hotel the entire night, docking ages twice to get a drink and the snack? while unhappily for keith s alibi, when the detective looked at the hotel security video, and told a vastly different story. keefe is seen leaving as a client around 11 pm but i think within 15 to 30 minutes he s gonna be returning. that never happened. you re scrolling through the tape. scrolling through.
