But then comes to mind the thought, why did Frank have the garage keys in his hand when he went out into the driveâ€" way with the caller"? How was it that the next day the keys were found by a high school boy just 20 feet from the scuffed marks on the driveway Was Frank about to take the man to the garage when the argument startâ€" »d and Frank then threw the keys away? From the driveway the fight raged in the house. Perhaps Frank got away from his assailant and made his way into the house.
