I began sobbing.
“And Ned…”
Roscoe stopped.
He looked away.
Then whispered:
“He misses you.”
I pressed my hand against the screen.
Roscoe began crying.
“I should never have brought them here.”
His voice broke.
“I thought I could protect them.”
He swallowed.
“But I failed.”
Then he looked into the camera.
And said:
“IF YOU EVER FIND THIS, PLEASE DON’T STOP LOOKING.”
The video ended.
I sat frozen.
Then I began screaming.
Clara called the police.
We provided the recovered files.
The device.
The storage box.
And everything we knew about Garrison.
Investigators immediately reopened the case.
The videos were examined.
Their metadata was analyzed.
The financial records were reviewed.
And the locations visible in the recordings were compared with known properties.
The authorities warned us that the recordings needed verification.
They couldn’t assume every statement was accurate.
But the evidence was substantial.
And it contradicted the original boating accident theory.
