Chapter 7 - The Phone That Shouldn't ExistThe phone had been hidden beneath the Volvo's spare tire.
It belonged to Valerie.
But it contained messages that changed everything.
There were conversations with an unidentified man.
Money transfers.
Insurance documents.
And photographs of David's military records.
Miller stared at the screen.
“This wasn't an impulsive act.”
Elaine felt cold despite the Arizona heat.
“What was she planning?”
Miller looked at her.
“David's life insurance policy.”
The pieces began falling into place.
Valerie hadn't simply wanted the children gone.
She wanted David dead too.
The children were obstacles.
Elaine felt a knot form in her stomach.
Then another message appeared.
“Once David is declared dead, the payout comes through.”
Beneath it was another sentence.
“Make sure the children don't survive.”
Elaine stared at the screen.
