Chapter 6 - Logan Had Sold the First Bracelet Seven Months Earlier
The police did not need to guess where the jewelry went.
Logan was careless in one way Cassandra was not.
He liked receipts when they benefited him.
Investigators found messages with three jewelry dealers.
Photographs.
Appraisals.
Negotiations.
The first sale happened seven months earlier.
Natalie’s diamond bracelet.
Then a pair of earrings.
Then the sapphire ring.
Logan told buyers they came from his mother’s private collection.
Cassandra supplied old insurance appraisals that listed Natalie’s pieces.
She removed Natalie’s name from the copies.
One dealer became suspicious when a serial inscription did not match Cassandra’s story.
He delayed payment on the final necklace.
That necklace was still recoverable.
Others had already moved on to new buyers.
Some crossed state lines.
The total jewelry proceeds were just under $180,000.
That was not enough to explain the trust discrepancies.
Which meant the theft had two separate parts.
Physical belongings.
And money.
Both led through Logan.
Both led back to Cassandra.

And both had been uncovered because a six-year-old girl recognized her mother’s empty jewelry box.
