Detective Peter Pux watched from the courtroom as the trial of Jessica's killer, Alex, got underway. He couldn't believe that it had already been a year since he had solved the case and brought Alex to justice.

As he listened to the testimony and evidence being presented, Peter couldn't shake the feeling of sadness and disgust that washed over him. He had done his job, and he had brought Jessica's killer to justice. But it wasn't going to bring her back, and her family and friends were still struggling to come to terms with her tragic death.

Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Alex maintained his innocence throughout the trial. He claimed that he had nothing to do with Jessica's disappearance, and that he had been framed by someone else.

But Peter knew the truth. He had been there when Alex had confessed to killing Jessica in a fit of jealousy, and he knew that he was guilty.

As the trial came to a close, the jury deliberated for several days before returning with a verdict of guilty. Alex was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Jessica, and Peter couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had done his job, and he had brought Jessica's killer to justice.

As he left the courthouse and headed back to the station, Peter couldn't help but feel a sense of closure. He had finally put this case to rest, and he could move on to the next one.

But he knew that he would never forget Jessica, or the role that he had played in bringing her killer to justice. She would always be with him, a reminder of the importance of his work and the impact that it had on the lives of others.
