Injured Son Crawls Seven Blocks Home Missing a Shoe—Then Grandpa Calls Before Anyone Should Know He Escaped
/
Chapter 14 / 27
Chapter 14 - THE DOORBELL CAMERACharles had installed cameras everywhere.
He loved security.
They betrayed him.
Front camera:
Eli arriving 4:33.
Mark arriving 4:51.
Denise arriving 5:29.
Mark’s initial statement said he never came to Dad’s house.
False.
Side camera:
At 7:12, Mark running toward his SUV.
7:20, returning.
7:24, Charles walking to the curb while calling someone.
Me.
Basement camera?
None.
Interior cameras had been disconnected two months earlier because Charles complained they were “spying on family.”
Useful irony.
Another camera across the street showed Denise’s vehicle remaining until 8:03.
Her first statement said 5:45.
Another lie.
