Just as Erick was about to put away his tablet, Raegan spotted a four-leaf clover pendant around the womans neck. It was a style commonly worn by women.
Thus, Raegan suspected it was actually a woman disguised as a man.
This was a perspective Erick hadnt considered. He knew the figure in the footage was on the shorter side, but since many men in Aurora were not tall, he hadnt seen it that way. Now, with Raegans insights, Erick agreed that the figure in the footage did seem out of place, perhaps really a woman!
