Investigators searched Daniel’s devices under warrant.
He had deleted an email account.
Not permanently enough.
Forensic recovery found communications between him and Melissa.
At first:
Administrative questions.
Then:
Draft transfer wording.
Then:
Do not send anything to Rachel’s portal yet.
Melissa:
Why?
Daniel:
I need the transition to happen without another argument.
Another:
Once we’re settled, she’ll calm down.
Melissa:
You said she agreed.
Daniel:
She agrees until she gets emotional.
That sentence became important.
Consent treated as temporary malfunction.
