Chapter 17 - Reviewing Security Camera Footage From The Living Room
Back at the Bennett household, police technicians installed a temporary digital forensics hub in the living room.
Officer Miller reviewed the high-definition security camera footage captured by the smart home system mounted near the bookshelf.
The digital recording played back the horrifying events of the previous afternoon in crisp, unflinching detail.
It captured Elena screaming at Sophia for dropping her book, followed by the vicious, unprovoked slap across the child's face.

Finally, it showed Richard bursting into the room, his expression shifting from shock to explosive, protective fury.
