PART 17 — THE VEHICLE

The crash investigation found mechanical tampering.

I will not describe how.

Investigators believed the vehicle had been deliberately made unsafe before it entered the highway.

Who did it became the central question.

Evidence suggested Nicolai had purchased automotive supplies and tools earlier that evening.

The source story made this look conclusive.

It wasn’t.

Buying tools is not the same as sabotaging a vehicle.
