That detail did not solve the mystery; it made the previous explanation impossible.

The villa pool remained closed behind temporary fencing. Clear water no longer looked luxurious to anyone in the family.

Coffee cooled in paper cups beside legal pads as Florida detectives, trust attorneys, and financial investigators compared records.
