Marcie recalls meeting Silas Renfrow for the first time. She and Howard Shimkus were transported in the back of a van to the secret location where government witnesses were held. Silas had disguised his features with cosmetic surgery and would not allow his lawyers to see his new face. He talked using voice-altering technology, and Marcie could only see his piercing blue eyes through a peephole in the cell’s door. Silas boasted that he had killed 32 people and felt “nothing.”
