Chapter 5 - The Hallway Security Camera They Completely Forgot About
Hours later, an investigator named Detective Miller entered the cold interview room with a thick manila folder.
He tossed a glossy photograph onto the metal table between us without saying a single word.
It was a still frame captured by the digital security camera mounted right above the hallway fire exit.
“Recognize this timestamp?” Detective Miller asked, tapping his pen against the corner of the photograph.
I looked down at the image and felt a sudden, fierce surge of vindication wash over me.
The timestamp read 5:08 A.M. on Tuesday—just five minutes after my family had stormed out of my apartment.
The photo clearly showed my father holding a small black object wrapped in a plastic shopping bag.
It also showed Kelsey lingering by my doorway while my mother kept watch down the stairwell landing.
“They thought they covered every angle, didn't they?” Detective Miller murmured, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
