Police Question Female Friend of Graniel As Possible Murder Mastermind
posted (June 26, 2019)

Those townspeople are also sure to press Commissioner Williams for answers in the investigation of this double murder.  We know that police are looking at a number of angles - but principally, the storyline has been that 53 year old Mario Graniel had a personal misunderstanding with one of the island’s notorious figures.  

Our sources say that the dispute may have been over a 25 year old woman - who, reports say, was friendly with both men.  We are told she has been detained by police - and was only allowed to attend the funeral yesterday with a police escort. They took her back into custody after the burial at the island graveyard. Police believe she may have played a central role in masterminding the killing.  As for the gunman who pulled up in a boat and shot Graniel and Swank, he is known to police, but reportedly still art large.  

And now a two thousand dollar reward is being offered for any information regarding the murder of the two men.  If you have information, your can call CRIMESTOPPERS at 0800-922-tips.
