Chapter 6 - The Coward's Reckoning
With Brenda transported to the federal detention facility, military investigators turned their attention to Thomas.
Under formal interrogation by JAG officers, Thomas broke down in tears within fifteen minutes, admitting that he had known about Brenda draining Nora’s trust fund for twenty years.
He admitted that he had been too terrified of Brenda's violent temper to stop her, allowing his second wife to abuse his daughter and steal her inheritance while he turned a blind eye.
Because Thomas had actively signed several forged bank transfers to facilitate Brenda’s real estate purchases, he was formally indicted as a co-conspirator in federal court.
His home and assets were immediately placed under court-ordered federal liens to secure full financial restitution for Nora.
The weak man who had abandoned his daughter to protect his own comfort was now facing total bankruptcy and potential prison time alongside his cruel wife.
