The woman and the driver were identified and the circumstances investigated.

Relevant material was secured and examined through the lawful procedures available in the developing case.

Inside the papers associated with the visitor was a document bearing what appeared to be my signature.

It claimed I had authorized Lily to stay temporarily with a third party because of a family medical emergency.

I had made no such authorization.

There were also copies of school information, Ethan’s address, a photograph of Mom, and notes describing my work schedule.

Those items told investigators what information the visitors possessed.
