The Short Hills murders

She Vanished

Hello sir, I'm Officer Lilly Shay
your maid said you need some help finding your daughter.
Mr James, yes, her name is Maggie, her mother and Maggie. Well, they are not on the best of terms
Shay, please do not get offended by my set of questions. Your answers may help me locate your daughter
Mr.hame, if they are fine
Shay, how bad was this argument
MrJames well it got pretty bad when Maggie asked if she could attend her best friends birthday party. I personally thought that Maggie needed that so she could mingle with kids her age
Shay, so Maggie didn't get out much
Mr.james unfortunately not enough or with people her age
Shay, okay, so she is basically here. Is that what you're saying
Mr.james yes when she should have been out with her friends brining guys home I wouldn't approve of normal stuff her childhood was practically not there the only way Maggie got to be herself was if that mother of her wasn't  constantly on her about one thing or another she was only her mother because she gave birth.to her.
Shay, now please don't take this next question wrong .
Mr James cut officer Shay
no, she is not my biological daughter, but I have always felt like her biological father
Shay would mind if
I question your maids
Mr.james no they all have been nothing but motherly to Maggie.
