Chapter 15 - The search history
Digital evidence strengthened prosecution.
Vanessa had searched:
can child be placed residential for sibling violence
therapeutic school immediate danger sibling
what happens if child injures baby
Then:
how far can toddler fall stairs without serious injury
That last search was devastating.
Defense said:
She searched after a previous ordinary tumble.
Metadata showed:
Two days before the incident.
Then a deleted note recovered from her phone:
Need one event Adrian cannot rationalize.
No names.
But connected context was strong.
Another note:
Camera stair?
She had written:
front hall yes / upper landing maybe not
She knew there was a camera.
She guessed the angle incorrectly.

The camera she forgot was mounted above a decorative arch across from the staircase.
It captured everything.
