I Found My Five-Year-Old in the Garage Freezer—Then Her Mother’s Signed Statement Changed the Story I Had Been Told

The copy had been returned among Lily’s clothes, folded with the gray hoodie.

I found it when putting the laundry away and gave it to Ruth.

The note did not say how long before.

The fuller statement supplied approximately 8:20, and Taylor later confirmed that time in a signed clarification.

We retained both papers with their sources.

We did not edit the vague note to make it look more precise than it was.

At another adult meeting, Taylor told me Evelyn did not know what she had said.
