Chapter 22 - ROBERT’S DEATH REOPENSThe district attorney reopened review of Dad’s death.
Not as murder.
As suspicious medication administration and potential elder abuse.
Vanessa had been holding his clonazepam.
The timer showed her hand near his water.
Robert confronted her.
Toxicology showed clonazepam.
But he had a prescription.
Causation remained difficult.
Then pharmacy records showed the bottle count after death was four tablets lower than expected based on refill date and Mom’s recollection.
Not enough.
People miscount.
Patients take extra doses.
Records imperfect.
Another clip from two nights earlier showed Andrew removing Dad’s medication from the drawer and putting it in his pocket.
He later said Dad asked him to.
No audio.
Could be.
The strongest provable conduct was not homicide.
It was unauthorized manipulation of medication access involving both parents.
The prosecutor moved carefully.
Good.

My father deserved truth.
Not a murder charge invented because his death was heartbreaking.
