Police searched Thomas’s home.
They found financial ledgers.
Payments to private investigators.
Payments to Claire.
Payments to attorneys.
And regular cash withdrawals matching dates when Lily contacted the family from Oregon.
Thomas had known where Lily was.
Harold had known.
Claire had known for at least two years.
William felt betrayed on a scale he could barely process.
Then investigators discovered something even worse.
Thomas had been paying property taxes on another house in Vermont.
Owner:

The payments continued through the current year.
