Chapter 8 - Grace Harper
Grace agreed to speak.
Twenty-eight.
Worked at the mansion for nine months.
Rose accused her of stealing a diamond bracelet.
Grace denied it.
Rose said the security system showed Grace entering the dressing room near the time it disappeared.
That was true.
Grace delivered fresh towels there daily.
Then Rose showed Michael a shortened video clip.
Grace entering.
Grace leaving carrying something white.
A cloth bag.
Michael believed it could contain jewelry.
Grace was terminated.
She signed a separation agreement after being told police might otherwise become involved.
No criminal report was ever filed.
Why?
Rose claimed she wanted to:
“spare the girl.”
Grace lost her job.
Her housing.
Her reference.
Then the bracelet reappeared.
Rose told Helen Lewis it had probably been:
May you like
“misfiled.”
Michael never heard that part.
