Chapter 4 - The Brake Line DiscoveryAt 6:00 p.m., forensic mechanics at the police impound lot confirmed the drill marks on my car's undercarriage.

In addition, security footage from my suburban neighborhood showed Grant’s dark blue truck idling outside my garage at 4:30 a.m.—three hours before I loaded Caleb and Sophie into their car seats.

The screen illuminated with my mother’s contact name.
