He decided it was time to interview Julia Diaz, who’d been picking flowers with Roxann and was chased by her abductor. Although thirteen years had passed, he hoped she would be able to pick that man out of a photo lineup, but first he had to find her. Signing on to the Garland Police Department records computer, Sweet checked to see if someone named Julia Diaz had any sort of contact with the city. There was no guarantee she still went by that name or lived in the area—she could have married or moved—but it was a start. Nothing came up. So he tried LexisNexis, a company that provided computer-assisted legal research assistance and was more up-to-date with current addresses. This time he was in luck; there was a Julia Diaz who was the right age and still living in Garland. Sweet drove to the address listed. No one answered the door, so he left his business card. A few hours later, he received a call from a woman who said she was Julia’s mother and wanted to know why he was looking for her daughter.
