Chapter 15 - The Secret Ledger
As trial preparations reached their final stage, lead prosecutor Marcus Vance uncovered another crucial piece of evidence that sealed Diego’s fate permanently.
Among the encrypted files on Diego's seized hard drives was a secret financial ledger detailing an extensive network of illegal offshore shell companies. Diego hadn't just killed Elena Vance to cover up a personal dispute; he had been systematically embezzling millions of dollars from investors, using her signature on forged documents to mask his tracks.
When Elena had discovered his fraud and threatened to go to the authorities, Diego had executed his sinister plan to eliminate her, burying her body in a remote development site before attempting to dissolve remaining evidence years later when construction work threatened to expose the burial site.
