“I think he has been doing this for years. He finds women with money, gets close to them, and then uses their financial information.”
I focused on the screen.

I stared.
“Her name was Natalie.”
Jessica showed me a photograph.
I recognized her from an old charity event.
She had died several years earlier.
The official cause had been an accidental overdose.
Jessica whispered:
“David was the last person who saw her alive.”

That evening, Samuel returned from the police station.
He looked exhausted.
“The investigation is expanding.”
I typed.
HAVE THEY FOUND EMMA?
“Not yet.”
He sat beside me.
“But we’ve confirmed that Caroline’s medical records were altered after her death.”

I stared.
“Altered how?”
“Several laboratory results were removed. Others were replaced with copies that supported the original diagnosis.”
