MISSING

Yesterday Pat went back to her normal job as a policeman. But for a year she was close, very close, to a man who told her he had killed his wife. Keith Brown didn’t know Pat was a policewoman.

So what happened? In the summer of 1992 Brown and his wife had a furious argument. The neighbours heard everything. After that day no one saw his wife again. The police were sure Keith Brown had killed her but he refused to answer any questions.

Early in October, Brown answered a lonely-hearts advertisement in the Sun Valley Times. The woman who put the advertisement in the newspaper telephoned the police. She told them about Keith Brown’s letter to her. The police decided that policewoman Pat, not the woman, should meet Keith Brown. Pat phoned Keith Brown – the first of many telephone conversations about life and love, and about his wife.

They had their first meeting in a pub. The police could listen to Brown’s conversation with Pat because she had a small microphone inside her dress. Brown and Pat met five more times and he fell in love with her. Brown asked to live with him. She said: “I can’t live with you. Your wife might come home at any time.” Pat wanted to end their relationship.

But she agreed to meet Brown once more. While they were talking, Brown suddenly confessed. He told Pat, “My wife will never come home again. I killed her. Voices in my head told me to kill her. I’m sorry. I love you. I want to spend my life with you.” Again, the police recorded everything. They arrested Brown.

But the judge did not accept Brown’s confession as evidence. Although Brown confessed that he had killed his wife, he went free.

And Pat? She has moved to another job.
