Seattle Escorts: Everett’s final drama was all too real
Detectives went back to Everett’s office. Sure enough, there was a cement ledge about 10 inches wide running outside the studio office and around the 10th floor of the building.
No doubt this was how the man had left the scene of the murder. It had been quite a feat. To get to the adjoining building’s fire escape, the murderer had to take a five-foot leap above Chicago traffic 10 storeys below.
The police were firmly convinced that was exactly how the bloodied killer had escaped the scene of the crime. Within hours detectives, scanning Everett’s appointment books, came up with the name of Paul De Wit.
Recalling that Annie Lane had heard the words, “No, Paul, no,” emanating from Everett’s studio, police paid a call on De Wit.
The 21-year-old man had a short, but checkered career as a male prostitute and small-time thief.
