I studied the first four times.

My father had sent me downstairs shortly after three.

At 3:27, Jenna confirmed that the payment was valid.

I returned upstairs and began trying my key.

By the time I found Lily, she had already been observed outside and reported by hotel staff.

The exact length of her time alone wasn’t established by one continuous recording.

But the repeated observations showed that she hadn’t simply stepped into the corridor for a few seconds.

I looked at Denise.
