Miles sat at the defense table wearing a dark suit.
He looked older.
Smaller.
But when he saw me, he smiled.
The same smile he had used while comforting me after Grant’s funeral.
My stomach turned.
During the trial, prosecutors presented the recordings, financial records, forged documents, and evidence recovered from the crash investigation.
Benjamin testified about his abduction and the false identity he’d been forced to live under.
I testified about the years Miles had spent manipulating our family.
The defense tried to portray me as a grieving widow desperate for someone to blame.
But the documentary evidence and recorded conversations undermined that claim.
Then came the most devastating testimony.
Daniel Rourke, facing his own prosecution, had entered a cooperation agreement.
He admitted that Miles had planned to intercept Grant on the mountain road.
They intended to recover the evidence and force him to abandon the investigation.
