While the request was pending, we compared Caleb’s statements with the documents he had voluntarily supplied.

He said Mara had left with an account card.

He also said he had continued paying necessary household expenses.

Those claims might both be true if there were multiple cards or other ways to access the account.

When the authorized records arrived, one transaction stood out.

$2,140 withdrawn Monday morning, the day after Mara was reported missing.

There were additional transfers afterward, moving funds between accounts.

Earlier entries showed smaller withdrawals associated with Mara’s access.
