Ethan moved away from her.
“Did you put those bottles in Mom’s suitcase?”
Her face drained of color.
“Of course not!”
I stood beside my attorney, who’d arrived after I contacted him.
“Then explain why my bedroom camera recorded you opening my luggage after midnight.”
Brittany froze.
Nobody moved for several seconds.
Then she laughed.
“A camera? You spy on your own family?”
“Only after someone started entering my bedroom without permission.”
She turned toward Ethan.
“Tell her how ridiculous she’s being!”
He remained silent.
The lead investigator approached.
“Mrs. Wilson has provided evidence that requires further investigation. We also need to establish where those medications came from.”
Brittany crossed her arms.
“You can’t prove anything.”
“That’s for the evidence to determine,” he replied.
Her confidence finally began to fade.
Over the following weeks, investigators lawfully obtained additional records. They traced the stolen medication bottles to a pharmacy burglary involving Brittany’s cousin, who eventually admitted supplying them to her.
