Part 2: The Camera They Forgot

The detective and I watched the hidden security footage in complete silence. Rachel’s car pulled into my driveway first, followed moments later by Tyler’s SUV. Vanessa stepped out, and Tyler opened Rachel’s door before placing something inside the cup holder. A few seconds later, another person climbed from the back seat.

Tyler stopped breathing.

Vanessa covered her mouth.

On the recording, the third person calmly removed Rachel’s phone, picked up the spare key fob, and said with chilling certainty,

“Leave the baby inside. It makes her breakdown look believable.”

The detective paused the video the moment the woman turned toward the hidden camera.
