Chapter 12 - WHY RIDGEWAY

Ridgeway itself had done nothing wrong.

But its medical director, Dr. Thomas Keene, had a prior relationship with Caleb.

Not criminal.

Golf.

Local business club.

Keene had evaluated Caleb’s mother after hip surgery.

Caleb called him directly.

“Can you take Rebecca somewhere quiet?”

Keene said:

“Send records.”

Caleb sent selective records.

Postoperative confusion.

Anxiety.

History of sleep medication.

Not:

Domestic violence concern.

Not:

Disputed power of attorney.

Not:

Detective inquiry.

Ridgeway provisionally accepted.

Why did Caleb want “somewhere quiet”?

Mara found a text to his brother:

Once she’s out of St. Anne’s, this dies down.

Brother:

What dies down?

Caleb:

Everyone asking questions.

That text did not prove the fall was intentional.

It proved questions were his problem.
