Chapter 20 / 30
Chapter 20 - NATHAN’S LAST EMAIL
Uncle Nathan’s archived email recovered from obsolete server.
Sent night before boating accident.
To federal financial regulator.
Subject:
Request for confidential whistleblower meeting — Whitmore Industries
Attachment missing.
Email received.
Meeting scheduled.
Nathan never attended.
This made death more suspicious.
Investigators reopened accident review.
Months later conclusion:
No evidence sufficient to establish criminal act.
Daniel accepted.
Richard could be guilty of enormous crimes without being guilty of every tragedy.
Important.
Nathan likely died accidentally while preparing exposure.
That made story sad enough.
No need invented murder.
His attempt still mattered.

He had tried.
