Chapter 10 - Ethan’s Version
Ethan was arrested for the Easter assault after officers documented probable cause.
Other charges developed later.
His attorney advised him not to speak extensively.
Before that advice fully settled in, Ethan offered one explanation.
Emily wanted help.
No.
Emily was threatening to leave.
Yes.
Emily had become irrational.
His opinion.
Emily agreed to go north.
No.
The room was for storage.
Then why the cot?
For guests.
Why does it lock from outside?
Security.
Why is Emily’s passport inside?
She packed it.
Why did she call her father saying you hurt her?
She manipulates him.
Why the fake messages?
No answer.
Why the forged-looking intake paperwork?
No answer.
