The case attracted national attention after investigators released a statement explaining that the traffic stop had been part of an effort to interfere with a federal investigation.
Victoria did not appear on television.
She declined interviews.
She wanted the evidence to speak for itself.
But one afternoon, she received a letter from Peter Walsh.
It had been written before his disappearance.
His daughter had found it inside a desk drawer.
The letter was addressed to Victoria.
I don’t know whether I will be able to help you in person.
But if you receive this, please understand something.
I stayed quiet because I thought keeping my job was the same as protecting my family.
I was wrong.
Money can disappear. Positions can disappear. Companies can be rebuilt.
But when people in authority decide that ordinary citizens are beneath them, everyone becomes vulnerable.
Please don’t let them convince you that the truth is too expensive to pursue.
