CHAPTER 5 – THE NEIGHBOR WHO HEARD EVERYTHING

CHAPTER 5 – THE NEIGHBOR WHO HEARD EVERYTHING

An elderly neighbor contacted detectives.

She had heard screaming every Thursday afternoon.

She thought my daughter simply hated taking baths.

She cried while giving her statement.

"I should have called someone."

She handed detectives security footage from across the street.

It showed my parents carrying my daughter inside.

Happy.

Laughing.

Hours later...

She came out completely silent.

Holding her own arms.

Exactly where the bruises had appeared.

The detective looked at me.

"This has become much bigger."
