Chapter 12 - Uncovering the Lair
Within an hour, the quiet luxury apartment building was surrounded by dozens of police cruisers, forensic vans, and local news crews. Detective Sarah Miller, a senior homicide investigator with the precinct, took charge of the scene, escorting Mariana and Sofia into a secure police vehicle while forensic technicians in full white hazardous material suits flooded unit 604.
While technicians tore apart the bathroom plumbing to retrieve all remaining evidence, a secondary team executed a search warrant on Diego’s private real estate office downtown.
What they uncovered inside his private sanctuary shattered any remaining doubts about his true nature.
Behind a hidden bookshelf in Diego’s private office, police discovered a floor-mounted safe. Inside was not money or property deeds, but a collection of meticulously organized digital storage drives, surgical tools, industrial chemical receipts dating back four years, and Elena Vance’s missing personal belongings—including her passport, driver's license, and blood-stained engagement ring.
