MY SON FOUND HIS DEAD MOTHER OUTSIDE A DINER, THEN HER WORDS EXPOSED WHAT I HAD HIDDEN ABOUT THE FIRE
/
Chapter 7 / 15
Chapter 8 - The Other Woman Has A Name
DNA databases eventually identified the deceased woman as Marissa Vale.
Thirty-two.
Temporary bookkeeping contractor.
No close local family.
She had worked at Cross Outdoor Supply for eleven weeks.
Sophie remembered her.
Marissa had helped reconcile procurement invoices.
She was the auditor Sophie planned to meet.
That meant two women were supposed to be at the warehouse.
Only one had been declared dead.
Investigators found Marissa’s car three blocks away in a private lot.
Her phone was never recovered.
Sophie cried when Ortiz told her.
For three years, the world had mourned Sophie while Marissa disappeared beneath her name.
The case was no longer only about bringing my wife home.

A woman had died.
Her own family deserved the truth.
