Chapter 3 - THE DEATH WAS STAGEDPolice reopened Julian’s disappearance immediately.
The old evidence now looked different.
The blood inside the car?
Julian’s.
But not from a fatal injury.
Victoria had arranged for a private physician to draw several tubes months earlier during what Julian thought was routine testing.
Some of that blood was planted.
His coat?
Thrown into the river.
His phone?
Smashed.
The car?
Damaged deliberately and abandoned near the ravine during the storm.
The weather did the rest.
Poor visibility.
Flooded roads.
No nearby cameras.
Authorities believed they were investigating an accident.
Not a staged disappearance.
Arthur had paid for private searches for nine months.
Every time investigators got close to one of Charles’s properties, they received a new false lead.
Canada.
Drug debt.
Secret girlfriend.
Voluntary disappearance.
Enough noise to keep the search moving sideways.
Eventually, Arthur’s own family convinced him continuing was destroying Victoria.

So he stopped.
That fact would haunt him longer than anything.
