00:00:00henry miller a forty seven year old engineer was highly respected in his field known for his calm and composed demeanor but behind the walls of his home henry kept everything under tight control treating the house like a fortress and clara his wife like a prisoner in a gilded cage

00:00:19at forty four clara appeared to be the perfect homemaker and mother of two but for her life had long become a heavy burden on the surface henry and clara miller symbolized success and stability they had lived in their home in harman hills for over fifteen years and were always a central part of the community

00:00:37in recent months clara often wandered the garden alone her face filled with deep thought as if searching for answers to the questions that had plagued her for years

00:00:47sometimes she realized that her home felt more like a cage than a refuge every morning she put on the same mask trying not to reveal her doubts but inside her anxiety was building none of the neighbors suspected that their marriage was hanging by a thread

00:01:02next door lived nancy larson and her son joshua nancy a fifty one year old widow had moved to harman hills after her husband died in a car accident three years ago

00:01:12since then the town had become a refuge from a world that seemed too harsh her son joshua recently turned twenty had returned home for the summer from college he was tall lean and just starting to build his adult life

00:01:26however after joshua returned home in june twenty twenty one nancy noticed he had become more withdrawn he spent a lot of time alone often taking long walks and disappearing for hours at a time

00:01:38his frequent visits to the miller seemed odd to her but nancy didn't question him preferring to believe that her son was simply helping the neighbors

00:01:46the quiet streets of harman hills gave no indication of the hidden dramas unfolding neighbors smiled politely at each other as they passed but no one knew the dark thoughts concealed behind these courteous greetings

00:01:57in just a few weeks the peaceful veneer of the town would be shattered forever

00:02:02the silence of a saturday morning would soon be replaced by screams

00:02:06sirens and the brutal reality of what ordinary people are capable of when their secrets are exposed

00:02:13twenty years ago in 2001 henry and clara miller were one of those couples who seemed destined to be together

00:02:19they met in college and quickly realized they wanted to spend their lives together

00:02:23in 2003 two years after their wedding they bought their first home in harman hills

00:02:29a young suburban area that was just beginning to develop

00:02:33they were a young family with ambition he was a talented structural engineer

00:02:38and she was a caring energetic wife their children were born soon after

00:02:43a boy in 2004 and a girl in 2006

00:02:46the early years were filled with shared holidays trips to the beach and cozy nights by the fireplace

00:02:53clara lovingly created a home and henry thrived in his career

00:02:57everything seemed to be going according to plan but gradually their life began to crack

00:03:03by 2015 clara noticed that henry was spending more and more time at work

00:03:08he started coming home later and later claiming he had to work on big projects

00:03:13one evening in november 2016 clara discovered that henry had canceled their 15th wedding anniversary celebration

00:03:20citing an unexpected work call

00:03:23her frustration turned into detachment

00:03:26these constant excuses became the norm

00:03:28and clara began to feel increasingly isolated

00:03:31the home that once felt like a sanctuary

00:03:33now reminded her of everything she had lost

00:03:36by 2018 their relationship no longer resembled the passionate love

00:03:41that once bound them

00:03:42henry a controlling man began manipulating clara

00:03:45he managed every financial aspect of their lives deciding what they could or could not buy

00:03:50he insisted she shouldn't work

00:03:53convincing her that her sole duty was to care for the house and family

00:03:57at first clara resisted but soon she gave in

00:04:00she began to notice her social connections with friends weakening

00:04:04friends stopped inviting her out because henry often forbade her from going out in the evenings

00:04:09insisting they spend time together

00:04:11even though he was usually absorbed in work or absent altogether

00:04:14clara increasingly thought about how little freedom she had left

00:04:18one day she took a bold step

00:04:20she signed up for therapy

00:04:22hoping to find answers and restore her inner balance

00:04:24it was the first time in a long while that she had made a decision for herself

00:04:28but therapy wasn't what it seemed

00:04:30by october 2019 after just a few sessions

00:04:34clara grew close to her therapist eric

00:04:36who possessed an uncanny ability to make her feel the freedom she had longed for

00:04:41instead of helping her cope eric began pushing her toward the idea that she deserved more

00:04:46and needed to free herself from henry by any means necessary

00:04:50clara realized that her dreams of freedom had evolved into something more

00:04:55an urge for a new life

00:04:57she began living a double life

00:04:59by day she was the devoted homemaker

00:05:01but by night she was secretly communicating with eric

00:05:04discussing potential scenarios for how she could escape

00:05:07eric convinced her that therapy wouldn't help as long as she remained in a toxic environment

00:05:13he even hinted that certain measures could hasten her liberation

00:05:17implying that henry's removal might be the solution to all her problems

00:05:21clara sank deeper into thoughts of freedom

00:05:24she felt trapped but wasn't ready to take drastic action

00:05:27her secret life with eric grew more dangerous

00:05:30he increasingly urged her to radically change her life

00:05:33clara began to dream of a future without henry

00:05:36but fear of real consequences continued to hold her back

00:05:39after the tragic death of her husband in 2018

00:05:43nancy larson was left alone with her grief and her 17 year old son joshua

00:05:48the loss of the family patriarch in a car accident

00:05:51was a devastating blow from which nancy struggled to recover

00:05:54she left her job and devoted herself entirely to caring for joshua

00:05:58finding purpose in him

00:06:00joshua in turn was forced to grow up quickly

00:06:03the loss of his father left a deep scar on his character

00:06:06he became more withdrawn

00:06:08focusing on his studies and protecting his mother from further hardship

00:06:12after finishing his second year in college

00:06:15joshua returned home for the summer break

00:06:17during his time away he had transformed from a shy teenager into a confident young man

00:06:23his academic achievements and success in sports made nancy proud

00:06:27but the trauma of losing his father continued to haunt him

00:06:31despite his outward confidence

00:06:33joshua struggled to find emotional balance and often felt lost

00:06:37nancy aware of her son's hidden pain

00:06:39supported him in every way she could

00:06:41creating a comforting home environment

00:06:44she knew he needed time to heal and didn't pressure him

00:06:47during the summer of 2021

00:06:49in an effort to distract himself from heavy thoughts and earn some money

00:06:53joshua began helping out the neighbors

00:06:55clara miller who lived next door

00:06:57asked him to help with gardening and small repair jobs around the house

00:07:01she had always been kind to him ever since he was a teenager

00:07:05and joshua was happy to assist

00:07:07the summer was hot

00:07:09and working in the garden became a way for joshua to not only help his neighbors

00:07:13but also to distract himself from his thoughts

00:07:16clara watching him work began to feel an affection for the young man

00:07:20he reminded her of the times when her own children were still at home

00:07:23and she felt a tenderness as she observed his efforts

00:07:26but over time her feelings began to change

00:07:29more and more she found herself thinking that joshua was the only person who made

00:07:34her feel truly alive

00:07:35joshua in turn started to notice that his relationship with clara

00:07:39was becoming more than just helping a neighbor

00:07:42he began to visit more often stay longer

00:07:45and find excuses to linger at the miller's house

00:07:47he saw in clara a strong yet lonely woman

00:07:50who like himself was battling inner demons

00:07:53their bond deepened

00:07:55eventually evolving into something more

00:07:57one evening while henry was once again late at work

00:08:00joshua came over to help clara water the garden

00:08:03they sat on the terrace

00:08:04talking about life

00:08:06and clara to her own surprise

00:08:08opened up about her struggles

00:08:09her words gave joshua a new perspective on her

00:08:13behind her calm and composed exterior

00:08:16was a deeply wounded soul

00:08:18he felt a strong urge to protect and comfort her

00:08:21and soon that desire turned into a physical attraction

00:08:24that evening their conversation ended with their first kiss

00:08:28clara felt a wave of emotions she hadn't experienced in years

00:08:32she found in joshua not only comfort

00:08:35but also a sense of closeness she had long been missing with henry

00:08:38for joshua it was the moment he felt he had finally found something real

00:08:43something that helped him cope with his own pain

00:08:45from that point on

00:08:47their relationship quickly escalated

00:08:49joshua and clara began secretly seeing each other

00:08:52hiding from prying eyes

00:08:54they met at the miller's house when henry was at work

00:08:56or in secluded parts of the park

00:08:58where no one they knew would find them

00:09:00these encounters became their source of adrenaline

00:09:03and new life

00:09:04but over time

00:09:05their passion began to turn into something dangerous

00:09:08joshua started showing signs of obsession

00:09:11he couldn't stop thinking about clara

00:09:13and wanted to spend more and more time with her

00:09:16when she didn't respond to his calls or messages

00:09:19he became restless and aggressive

00:09:21clara in turn began to realize that their relationship

00:09:25might be spiraling out of control

00:09:27but the loneliness she had endured for so long

00:09:30kept her from breaking the connection

00:09:32their passion became her salvation

00:09:34but she started to understand that this salvation could destroy not only her marriage

00:09:39but their lives as well

00:09:40henry miller came home after a long day at work

00:09:43he was tired but something immediately seemed off

00:09:46clara who had been apathetic and depressed for the past few years

00:09:51greeted him with a smile

00:09:52she seemed livelier

00:09:54her eyes brightened

00:09:55and her voice carried a lightness that hadn't been there in a long time

00:09:58henry noticed these changes

00:10:00and a sense of unease swept over him

00:10:02he knew his wife too well

00:10:04not to notice that something had shifted

00:10:06at dinner clara was more distant than usual

00:10:09and henry began to suspect that someone else had entered her life

00:10:13over the next week henry grew increasingly suspicious

00:10:16he noticed clara was taking more care with her appearance

00:10:19getting her nails done

00:10:21spending more time on her hair

00:10:22and buying new clothes

00:10:24this didn't escape his attention

00:10:26more so her usual habit of staying home changed

00:10:30she began going out more frequently

00:10:32claiming she had meetups with friends or yoga classes

00:10:35deep down henry knew that her newfound behavior

00:10:38wasn't about reconnecting with friends

00:10:40but something far more dangerous to their marriage

00:10:43henry decided to act discreetly

00:10:45he hired a private investigator

00:10:48an expert in tracking spouses

00:10:50suspected of infidelity

00:10:51the investigator began monitoring clara

00:10:54documenting her every move

00:10:57her meetings and phone calls

00:10:58a week later

00:11:00the investigator presented henry with the evidence

00:11:02photographs taken in secluded spots

00:11:05the pictures clearly showed clara and joshua

00:11:07meeting in the park

00:11:08sitting on a bench too close together

00:11:11exchanging looks that could only mean one thing

00:11:13henry had the proof of her affair

00:11:16and these photos shattered his illusions

00:11:18but instead of immediately confronting her or filing for divorce

00:11:21henry chose to keep his cards close to his chest

00:11:24he saw an opportunity to use the situation to his advantage

00:11:28henry had long been planning his exit from the marriage

00:11:31his interest in clara had waned long before she started the affair with joshua

00:11:35at work he had been flirting with his 32 year old colleague linda for quite some time

00:11:41linda was younger more energetic and eventually henry began an affair with her

00:11:46this relationship gave him a sense of power and control that he lacked at home

00:11:51henry began thinking about how to end his marriage with clara without any loss to himself

00:11:57he needed to get rid of her but in such a way that she would receive nothing

00:12:01neither financially nor in terms of sympathy from others

00:12:05clara's affair gave him the perfect chance to turn the situation against her

00:12:09henry started developing his plan

00:12:12he began sending clara anonymous letters threatening to expose her affair with joshua

00:12:16the letters were filled with veiled threats

00:12:18making her nervous and fearful

00:12:20she didn't share this with joshua or henry

00:12:23afraid that her secret would be revealed

00:12:25these letters began to unsettle her

00:12:28and she started showing signs of increasing anxiety

00:12:30at the same time henry began setting the stage for what was to come

00:12:35he intentionally heightened the tension in the house

00:12:37creating an atmosphere where clara felt like she was on the verge of being exposed

00:12:41he hinted that he knew more than he let on

00:12:44and became increasingly distant causing clara to panic

00:12:47meanwhile henry continued his relationship with linda

00:12:51discussing their future together

00:12:52he promised her that he would soon be a free man

00:12:55hinting at the impending end of his marriage to clara

00:12:58henry devised a way to place the blame for a potential crime

00:13:02squarely on clara

00:13:03he planned to stage a murder

00:13:05making it appear as though clara

00:13:07driven by her emotions

00:13:08had killed joshua

00:13:09to do this henry intended to lure joshua to their home

00:13:13provoke a conflict

00:13:15and deliver a fatal blow

00:13:16then frame clara

00:13:18his goal was to ensure that all the evidence pointed to her

00:13:21while he appeared to be the victim of her reckless actions

00:13:25henry had been waiting for this moment

00:13:27he knew that clara and joshua had been meeting in his home

00:13:30taking advantage of his supposed late nights at work

00:13:33henry had deliberately left a note for clara

00:13:36saying he would be at the office until late

00:13:39and left around 6 p.m

00:13:40in reality he returned two hours later

00:13:43and parked his car at the far end of the street

00:13:45making sure none of the neighbors saw him

00:13:47now henry stood at the side door of their house

00:13:50holding a knife he had carefully selected the day before at a hardware store

00:13:53as he quietly entered the house

00:13:55he could hear their voices coming from the bedroom

00:13:57clara and joshua were laughing

00:13:59speaking in hushed tones

00:14:01completely unaware they were being watched

00:14:03henry observed them from the shadowed hallway

00:14:06his heart pounding

00:14:07not from fear but from anticipation

00:14:09this was his moment

00:14:11henry decided not to act immediately

00:14:14he wanted it to look like a conflict

00:14:16had erupted between clara and joshua

00:14:18one that had led to tragedy

00:14:20he began methodically staging the scene

00:14:22in the living room

00:14:23he knocked over a chair

00:14:25smashed a lamp on the floor

00:14:26and left several scratches on the walls

00:14:29to create the illusion of a struggle

00:14:30everything was designed to make the police believe

00:14:33that clara and joshua had fought

00:14:35as henry moved upstairs

00:14:37he paused outside the bedroom door

00:14:39he could hear clara and joshua talking

00:14:41suddenly clara noticed the door was slightly ajar

00:14:44and started toward it

00:14:45at that moment henry made his move

00:14:47he pushed the door open and stepped into the room

00:14:49knife in hand

00:14:50clara screamed in surprise

00:14:52but didn't have time to comprehend

00:14:54what was happening

00:14:55joshua lunged to protect her

00:14:57but henry was already in a fit of rage

00:14:59a real fight broke out

00:15:01despite joshua being young and strong

00:15:03he wasn't quick enough to fend off henry's blows

00:15:06the knife plunged into joshua's chest several times

00:15:10it all happened in a matter of seconds

00:15:12henry delivered the final blow

00:15:14and joshua collapsed to the floor

00:15:16blood quickly pooling on the carpet

00:15:18but henry needed it to look different

00:15:21he made sure joshua's blood

00:15:23ended up on clara's clothes

00:15:24who stood in shock by the bed

00:15:26henry wrapped her hand around the knife

00:15:28leaving her fingerprints on the handle

00:15:30everything was planned down to the smallest detail

00:15:33clara was devastated and in shock

00:15:36she stared at joshua's body

00:15:38her mind unable to process what had just happened

00:15:41meanwhile henry calmly pulled out his phone

00:15:44and dialed 911

00:15:45he spoke in a calm tired voice

00:15:48as if struggling to accept the reality of the situation

00:15:51i just got home

00:15:53my wife

00:15:54she killed a young man

00:15:56he's on the floor

00:15:57she

00:15:58she's holding the knife

00:16:00please send help quickly

00:16:02the police arrived 15 minutes later

00:16:04the first officers on the scene

00:16:06saw henry standing in the bedroom doorway

00:16:08his face a mix of horror and sorrow

00:16:11clara was sitting on the floor beside joshua's body

00:16:14her hands still covered in blood

00:16:16with the knife lying beside her

00:16:18she couldn't speak

00:16:20her breathing was rapid

00:16:21and she was as pale as a ghost

00:16:23the police immediately arrested her

00:16:25assuming she had committed the crime in a fit of rage

00:16:28henry remained free

00:16:30playing the part of the heartbroken husband

00:16:32who had supposedly walked in on his wife

00:16:34during the act of murder

00:16:35he told the police that he had started suspecting clara of having an affair

00:16:39but never thought things would escalate this far

00:16:41he described how he had come home earlier than usual

00:16:44and found her with the knife in her hand

00:16:47clara sat in the back of the police car

00:16:49dazed and unable to explain what had happened

00:16:52her thoughts were scattered

00:16:54joshua's death

00:16:55the blood

00:16:56the knife

00:16:57henry's words

00:16:59everything was a blur in her mind

00:17:01and she couldn't distinguish between reality and nightmare

00:17:04henry looked at her through the car window

00:17:07and confidently nodded to the officers

00:17:09continuing to play his role to perfection

00:17:11on the surface

00:17:13everything was going according to his plan

00:17:15but this story had many hidden layers

00:17:18and the real truth about what happened that night

00:17:20had yet to be uncovered

00:17:21as morning broke over harman hills

00:17:24the day began

00:17:25but life for the miller and larson families

00:17:28would never be the same

00:17:29the miller house was now sealed off with police tape

00:17:32and inside investigators were busy working the scene

00:17:35the murder that had taken place the night before

00:17:38had shocked everyone

00:17:39all the evidence pointed to clara miller

00:17:42her fingerprints on the knife

00:17:44signs of a struggle with joshua

00:17:46and blood on her clothing

00:17:48to most of the officers who arrived at the scene

00:17:51the case seemed straightforward

00:17:52clara caught in her affair

00:17:55had killed her young lover in a fit of passion

00:17:57but then came detective emily hart

00:18:00a seasoned 39 year old investigator

00:18:03who had seen enough cases to know

00:18:05that the obvious version of events

00:18:07often concealed much more beneath the surface

00:18:09hart was known across the state

00:18:11for her analytical approach

00:18:12rarely taking things at face value

00:18:15emily hart began by interviewing henry miller

00:18:18at first henry played his role perfectly

00:18:20the grieving husband who had tried to prevent a tragedy

00:18:23but had been powerless to stop it

00:18:25he recounted the story of finding clara

00:18:28with the knife in her hands

00:18:29as she sat over joshua's body

00:18:31his face expressing sorrow and disappointment

00:18:34hart took notes

00:18:35but something about his demeanor

00:18:37raised red flags

00:18:39his explanation was too smooth

00:18:41his words too rehearsed

00:18:42his reaction seemed almost mechanical

00:18:45lacking genuine emotion

00:18:46hart decided to dig deeper into clara's life

00:18:50in her relationship with henry

00:18:51she spoke with friends and neighbors of the millers

00:18:54some mentioned that clara had seemed worn out

00:18:56and anxious in recent months

00:18:57one neighbor sarah peterson

00:19:00even recalled seeing clara alone in the garden

00:19:02several times

00:19:03crying and appearing deeply troubled

00:19:06others however said that clara had seemed happier

00:19:09and more lively in recent months

00:19:11which intrigued hart even more

00:19:13at the same time hart reviewed clara's

00:19:16in joshua's phone records and emails

00:19:18she found undeniable evidence of their affair

00:19:20but what caught her attention was something odd

00:19:23in the weeks leading up to the murder

00:19:25clara had received several anonymous letters

00:19:28containing threats and warnings

00:19:29letters she hadn't mentioned to the police

00:19:32the letters hinted at her affair with joshua

00:19:34and alluded to her unworthy behavior

00:19:37hart began to wonder

00:19:39if these letters were real

00:19:40who was behind them

00:19:42hart decided to investigate the origin of the letters

00:19:45she traced the mail finding

00:19:46that they had been sent from a neighboring district

00:19:49this struck her as strange

00:19:51given that neither joshua

00:19:52his mother nor clara

00:19:53had any connections to that area

00:19:55hart began to suspect

00:19:57that it might have been henry

00:19:58who orchestrated everything

00:19:59deliberately pushing clara

00:20:01into a state of panic

00:20:02she turns to forensic experts

00:20:04to examine the ink and paper

00:20:06used in the letters

00:20:06it turns out that the paper was purchased

00:20:09at a local stationery store

00:20:10in september 2021

00:20:11hart heads there

00:20:13and finds surveillance footage

00:20:15the video shows henry

00:20:16buying the exact notebook and pen

00:20:18used to write the letters

00:20:19this discovery becomes a turning point

00:20:22in the investigation

00:20:23hart confronts henry with the evidence

00:20:25at first he denies everything

00:20:27but under pressure from hart

00:20:29he starts to crack

00:20:30his statements begin to falter

00:20:32and eventually he admits to writing the letters

00:20:35to frighten clara

00:20:35he wanted her to feel threatened

00:20:37and forced to end her affair with joshua

00:20:39however he continues to insist

00:20:42that he never planned a murder

00:20:43according to him

00:20:44everything spiraled out of control

00:20:46when he returned home

00:20:47and found them together

00:20:48but hart doesn't stop there

00:20:50she continues searching for evidence

00:20:52that henry was not just manipulating clara

00:20:55but planning the murder

00:20:56clara miller's trial begins

00:20:58in the new jersey county court

00:21:00drawing crowds of journalists

00:21:01and curious locals

00:21:02public opinion is divided

00:21:04some see her as a cold-blooded killer

00:21:07while others view her

00:21:08as a victim of circumstances

00:21:10henry miller presents himself

00:21:12as a grieving husband

00:21:13confidently telling the court

00:21:15how he found clara with the knife

00:21:17trying to protect their family

00:21:19from the consequences of her affair

00:21:21his version of events

00:21:23seems convincing

00:21:23with the prosecution

00:21:25leaning on clara's fingerprints

00:21:27on the knife

00:21:27her blood on joshua's body

00:21:29and her odd behavior

00:21:31after the murder

00:21:38that she was a victim

00:21:39of years of emotional abuse

00:21:40at henry's hands

00:21:41but the evidence against her

00:21:43seems overwhelming

00:21:44the turning point comes

00:21:47takes the witness stand

00:21:48she presents her findings

00:21:50the correspondence

00:33:20of direct evidence

00:33:21linking Caitlin

00:33:21to the murder

00:33:22she was initially

00:33:23arrested on a minor

00:33:24theft charge

00:33:25realizing that the

00:33:27evidence against her

00:33:27was mounting

00:33:28Caitlin understood

00:33:29that staying in Austin

00:33:30was becoming

00:33:31increasingly dangerous

00:33:32taking advantage

00:33:34of a quick opportunity

00:33:35to get cash

00:33:57Caitlin began

00:33:58planning her next moves

00:33:59she knew the police

00:34:00would be searching

00:34:01for her

00:34:01so she needed

00:34:02to act quickly

00:34:03Caitlin decided

00:34:05to head to Houston

00:34:06where she hoped

00:34:07to blend in

00:34:07with the large population

00:34:09and find a way

00:34:10to leave the country

00:34:10on May 14th

00:34:15ticket to New York City

00:34:17where her sister lived

00:34:18in New York

00:34:19Caitlin planned

00:34:20to use her family's

00:34:21help to further

00:34:22her escape

00:34:23using credit cards

00:34:25traceable methods

00:34:26that could lead

00:34:26to her being found

00:34:27upon arriving in New York

00:34:29Caitlin met

00:34:30with her sister

00:34:31who might not

00:34:32have been aware

00:34:33of her plans

00:34:33or the severity

00:34:34of the situation

00:34:35Armstrong used

00:34:36her time in New York

00:34:37to think about

00:34:38her next move

00:34:39and prepare

00:34:39for fleeing the country

00:34:40she knew that

00:34:42with each passing day

00:34:43the net was closing in

00:34:44and time was working

00:34:46against her

00:34:46this realization

00:34:48pushed Caitlin

00:34:48to take more radical

00:34:50measures to evade justice

00:34:51Caitlin Armstrong

00:34:52flew to Costa Rica

00:34:53using fake documents

00:34:55under her sister's name

00:34:58village of Santa Teresa

00:34:59a popular spot

00:35:00among tourists

00:35:01and expats

00:35:02this location

00:35:03was ideal

00:35:04for blending in

00:35:04with the numerous visitors

00:35:05to change her appearance

00:35:07and make identification

00:35:08more difficult

00:35:09Caitlin spent

00:35:10six thousand dollars

00:35:11on plastic surgery

00:35:13to alter the shape

00:35:14of her nose

00:35:14she also dyed her hair

00:35:16and used other methods

00:35:18to modify her look

00:35:19after the surgery

00:35:20her face was covered

00:35:21in bandages

00:35:22and her lips were swollen

00:35:23which helped conceal

00:35:25her true identity

00:35:25for a while

00:35:26living in Santa Teresa

00:35:28Caitlin adopted

00:35:29a new name

00:35:30ARRI

00:35:31under which she

00:35:32introduced herself

00:35:33to locals and tourists

00:35:34she found work

00:35:35as a yoga instructor

00:35:36which allowed her

00:35:37to earn a living

00:35:38without arousing suspicion

00:35:39Caitlin actively

00:35:41participated

00:35:42in the local community

00:35:43frequented cafes

00:35:44and restaurants

00:35:45and tried to behave

00:35:47like an ordinary resident

00:35:48of the peaceful resort town

00:35:49however

00:35:50her stay in Costa Rica

00:35:51did not go unnoticed

00:35:52locals began to suspect

00:35:54something was amiss

00:35:55when they noticed

00:35:56her strange behavior

00:35:57and frequent talks

00:35:58about the US

00:35:59additionally

00:36:00her post-surgery appearance

00:36:01drew attention

00:36:02during this time

00:36:03American authorities

00:36:04were actively searching

00:36:05for her

00:36:06and had reached out

00:36:07to local law enforcement

00:36:08for assistance

00:36:10living in Santa Teresa

00:36:11trying to adapt

00:36:12to her new life

00:36:13but she knew

00:36:14she could be caught

00:36:15at any moment

00:36:16despite all her efforts

00:36:18to hide and start anew

00:36:19she couldn't completely

00:36:20shake off the fear

00:36:21of being exposed

00:36:22since Caitlin Armstrong's

00:36:24arrival in Costa Rica

00:36:25US law enforcement

00:36:27had been actively

00:36:28working to locate her

00:36:29through international

00:36:30cooperation and tips

00:36:31from local residents

00:36:32who reported

00:36:33her suspicious behavior

00:36:35the search was narrowed

00:36:36down to the small village

00:36:38of Santa Teresa

00:36:38well Caitlin

00:36:40I know her as Ari

00:36:42I don't really know Caitlin

00:36:46Ari was a

00:36:47strange person

00:36:54and her friends

00:36:57were getting tattooed

00:36:58so she was waiting

00:37:01having a beer

00:37:01in the lounge

00:37:02and

00:37:02it became apparent

00:37:06to me

00:37:06that she was

00:37:07trying to have a conversation

00:37:08trying to get to know me

00:37:09so then I started

00:37:10talking to her

00:37:10more and more

00:37:11and then we ended up

00:37:12sharing numbers

00:37:12and we're going to

00:37:14hang out later

00:37:14and we ended up

00:37:15hanging out a bunch

00:37:16of times later

00:37:16and we went on a couple

00:37:18dates

00:37:18but she said

00:37:20that she had just

00:37:22been through

00:37:22a real traumatizing

00:37:23breakup

00:37:24and she hadn't

00:37:25healed from it yet

00:46:13happening behind

00:46:13the closed doors

00:46:14of their luxurious

00:46:15homes

00:46:16the first signs

00:46:17of an impending

00:46:18tragedy began to

00:46:19emerge at an

00:46:20exclusive gathering

00:46:21held at Brooke

00:46:22and Garrett's

00:46:22country house

00:46:23it was a

00:46:24dinner for

00:46:25only their

00:46:25closest friends

00:46:26a group that

00:46:27could be counted

00:46:28on one hand

00:46:29Brooke always

00:46:31the center of

00:46:31attention was the

00:46:32driving force

00:46:33behind this

00:46:34gathering the

00:46:35evening started

00:46:36with a

00:46:36traditional dinner

00:46:37but the

00:46:38conversation soon

00:46:39turned more

00:46:40intimate when

00:46:41the idea of

00:46:41role-playing games

00:46:42to spice up

00:46:43their marriages

00:46:43was brought

00:46:44up Brooke

00:46:45joking and

00:46:46flirting was

00:46:47the first to

00:46:47suggest partner

00:46:48swapping as a

00:46:50way to bring

00:46:50some novelty to

00:46:51marriages that

00:46:52had lasted more

00:46:52than a decade

00:46:53at first the

00:46:54idea seemed like

00:46:55a joke but

00:46:56after a few

00:46:57glasses of

00:46:57wine the

00:46:58suggestion took

00:46:59on a more

00:47:00serious tone

00:47:00initially everyone

00:47:02laughed while

00:47:03discussing the

00:47:03possibilities of

00:47:04such games but

00:47:06by midnight the

00:47:07atmosphere in the

00:47:08room had grown

00:47:08more tense and

00:47:09intimate in this

00:47:11circle everyone

00:47:12felt safe enough to

00:47:13consider the idea

00:47:14as something more

00:47:15than just a one-time

00:47:17amusement after

00:47:18lengthy discussions

00:47:19the couples agreed

00:47:20on the initial

00:47:21rules everything

00:47:22stays within the

00:47:23game no emotional

00:47:24attachments this

00:47:26meeting marked the

00:47:26beginning of a

00:47:27series of events

00:47:28that would soon

00:47:28completely change

00:47:29their lives the

00:47:31first night of the

00:47:32swap was

00:47:32unexpectedly awkward

00:47:33Damien and

00:47:35Hannah swapped

00:47:35partners with

00:47:36Garrett and Brooke

00:47:36at their country

00:47:37house a place the

00:47:38couples often used

00:47:40for relaxation the

00:47:41evening began with

00:47:42nervous laughter and

00:47:43anticipation but by

00:47:45morning the couples

00:47:46parted ways trying not

00:47:48to discuss what had

00:47:49happened each tried to

00:47:51make sense of the

00:47:51experience in their

00:47:52own way for Hannah

00:47:53the experiment felt

00:47:54strange she couldn't

00:47:56shake the feeling that

00:47:57something had changed

00:47:58in her relationship

00:47:58with her husband

00:47:59Damien however felt

00:48:01that it added something

00:48:02new to his routine

00:48:03he noticed something in

00:48:05Brooke that began to

00:48:06draw him in not just

00:48:07her appearance but her

00:48:09hidden vulnerability for

00:48:11him it became more than

00:48:12just physical attraction

00:48:13deep in his mind a

00:48:15dangerous emotional bond

00:48:16began to form one that

00:48:18would soon grow into

00:48:19an obsession Brooke

00:48:20accustomed to

00:48:21controlling every

00:48:22detail of her life felt

00:48:23a rush of adrenaline

00:48:24from the novelty and

00:48:25freedom her life with

00:48:27Garrett had become

00:48:28predictable and this

00:48:30game gave her a sense

00:48:31of independence that

00:48:32she lacked in her

00:48:33marriage Garrett on

00:48:35the other hand saw

00:48:36the night as another

00:48:37way to assert his

00:48:38dominance feeling that

00:48:39he was not only

00:48:40controlling his wife

00:48:41but also their

00:48:42friends over the

00:48:44following weeks the

00:48:45couples continued the

00:48:46game though each began

00:48:47to notice that

00:48:48emotional boundaries

00:48:49were eroding faster

00:48:50than they had

00:48:51expected Damien

00:48:52increasingly found

00:48:53excuses to be around

00:48:54Brooke even when a

00:48:56swap wasn't taking

00:48:57place Garrett became

00:48:58more controlling and

00:48:59suspicious his

00:49:01manipulations growing

00:49:02more intense Hannah

00:49:03began to feel a

00:49:04growing internal

00:49:05tension but couldn't

00:49:06yet grasp where it

00:49:07would lead at that

00:49:08point none of them

00:49:09could have predicted

00:49:10that their boundary

00:49:11pushing experiments would

00:49:12lead to a bloody

00:49:13tragedy gradually the

00:49:15passion between Damien

00:49:17and Brooke evolved into

00:49:18something more what

00:49:20started as casual

00:49:21encounters within the

00:49:22framework of their

00:49:23agreement became a

00:49:24painful emotional

00:49:25connection for Damien he

00:49:27began finding more

00:49:28excuses to spend time

00:49:29alone with Brooke

00:49:29whether it was work

00:49:31meetings or seemingly

00:49:32innocent walks in the

00:49:33park Brooke on the

00:49:35other hand saw their

00:49:36relationship as a way

00:49:37to escape the monotony

00:49:38of her life she didn't

00:49:40realize that for Damien

00:49:41this had long since

00:49:42become something more

00:49:43than just physical

00:49:44attraction Damien

00:49:46started feeling jealousy

00:49:47toward Garrett every

00:49:49time he saw them

00:49:49together even in

00:49:51ordinary situations

00:49:52emotions flared up

00:49:53inside him that he

00:49:55couldn't control his

00:49:56mind was filled with

00:49:57thoughts of Brooke even

00:49:59when he was with his

00:49:59wife and children he

00:50:01tried to hide this from

00:50:02Hannah but with each

00:50:03passing day it became

00:50:05harder to do so Garrett

00:50:07although not voicing his

00:50:08suspicions began noticing

00:50:10oddities in his wife's

00:50:11behavior he became more

00:50:13vigilant observing Brooke

00:50:14and Damien at their

00:50:15joint meetings Garrett

00:50:17had always been someone

00:50:18who controlled every

00:50:19detail but now his

00:50:21control was becoming

00:50:22obsessive he started

00:50:23checking his wife's

00:50:24phone tracking her

00:50:25movements through the

00:50:26GPS in her car and

00:50:28even hired a private

00:50:29investigator to confirm

00:50:30his suspicions but

00:50:32Garrett's feelings went

00:50:33beyond mere jealousy

00:50:34something darker began to

00:50:35take root inside him a

00:50:37need to prove his

00:50:38superiority and control

00:50:39over everyone involved

00:50:40in the game he said

00:50:42nothing directly but

00:50:43constantly tested Damien

00:50:45asking him questions

00:50:46about work and schedules

00:50:48creating tension during

00:50:49friendly dinners meanwhile

00:50:51Hannah feeling her

00:50:52husband's growing distance

00:50:54embarked on her own path

00:50:56to revenge she could no

00:50:57longer ignore the fact

00:50:58that Damien was spending

00:50:59more and more time with

00:51:00Brooke so she decided to

00:51:02get back at him in the

00:51:03same way she started

00:51:05meeting with Garrett but

00:51:06not for physical pleasure

00:51:07for her it was a way to

00:51:09regain control of a

00:51:10situation that she felt

00:51:12she had lost in her

00:51:13marriage their secret

00:51:14meetings took place in

00:51:15hotels outside Ashwood

00:51:17and in rented apartments

00:51:18where no one they knew

00:51:19would come across them

00:51:20Hannah derived

00:51:22satisfaction from this

00:51:35control he continued to

00:51:37monitor Brooke and

00:51:38Damien's every move

00:51:39never suspecting that

00:51:41own double game he

00:51:43began blackmailing

00:51:44Damien hinting that he

00:51:45would reveal everything

00:51:48carefully Garrett was

00:51:50confident that he held

00:51:51power over everyone

00:51:52involved in the game but

00:51:54when Hannah suggested

00:51:55they continue meeting

00:51:56behind their spouse's

00:51:57backs Garrett felt like

00:51:59he was starting to lose

00:52:00control he was used to

00:52:02everything in his life

00:52:03bending to his will and

00:52:05Hannah's sudden push for

00:52:06independence unsettled

00:52:10something important one

00:52:14across strange messages on

00:52:15Garrett's phone it was a

00:52:17series of texts from an

00:52:18unknown number discussing

00:52:20medical research that

00:52:21hadn't been mentioned in

00:52:22his usual work at first

00:52:24she thought it was just

00:52:25professional business but

00:52:26as she scrolled further she

00:52:28found messages discussing

00:52:29experiments on patients

00:52:31these experiments clearly

00:52:33crossed the line of legal

00:52:34medical research shocked

00:52:36Brooke decided to dig

00:52:37deeper into the materials

00:52:38soon she uncovered that

00:52:40Garrett had been involved

00:52:41in illegal medical

00:52:42experiments on humans using

00:52:44unapproved drugs and

00:52:45methods these operations

00:52:47had been kept secret from

00:52:49his official work and only a

00:52:50select few colleagues were

00:52:52involved risking their

00:52:53careers and reputations for

00:52:55large sums of money for

00:52:57Brooke this discovery was a

00:52:58huge shock she realized she

00:53:01was living with a man who

00:53:02was willing to do anything

00:53:03for his career and ambitions

00:53:04she also realized that

00:53:06Garrett would go to great

00:53:07lengths to protect his

00:53:08secrets sparking a fear in

00:53:10her that she had never

00:53:12felt before Brooke made the

00:53:14decision to end her

00:53:15relationship with Damien she

00:53:17understood that she couldn't

00:53:18afford to take any more

00:53:19risks knowing what her

00:53:21husband was capable of she

00:53:23tried to gradually distance

00:53:24herself from Damien coming up

00:53:26with different excuses to

00:53:27avoid seeing him but Damien

00:53:29blinded by his feelings for her

00:53:31couldn't let her go so easily

00:53:33he kept trying to figure out

00:53:35what had happened and why

00:53:37she suddenly began avoiding

00:53:38him at the same time Garrett

00:53:41sensing Brooke's coldness

00:53:42intensified his control over

00:53:44her he couldn't allow his

00:53:46wife to rebel against him he

00:53:48began manipulating her

00:53:49threatening to expose her

00:53:51affair with Damien he gathered

00:53:53evidence of their meetings took

00:53:54photographs and used threats to

00:53:56force Brooke back under his

00:53:57control the tension escalated and

00:54:00everyone involved in this drama

00:54:02began to realize that the

00:54:03situation was spiraling out of

00:54:05control Garrett Sanders was

00:54:07beginning to lose the last

00:54:08remnants of control over his

00:54:10life his need to dominate every

00:54:12aspect of not just his own life

00:54:14but the lives of those around

00:54:15him had turned into an

00:54:16obsession he no longer hit his

00:54:18fixation on maintaining power

00:54:20over Hannah and Damien in a

00:54:22desperate attempt to dominate

00:54:23Garrett started blackmailing

00:54:25Damien he sent him several

00:54:27messages threatening to reveal his

00:54:29secret meetings with Brooke in

00:54:31those messages Garrett hinted at

00:54:33evidence photos videos and even

00:54:36threats to tell Hannah and their

00:54:37mutual friends everything but that

00:54:39was only the first step Garrett

00:54:41began crafting a plan to destroy

00:54:43Damien seeing him as a direct

00:54:45threat to his influence everything

00:54:47Garrett believed to be within his

00:54:48control was now at risk and he

00:54:51decided that eliminating Damien was

00:54:53the only way to regain it he started

00:54:55setting Damien up by orchestrating

00:54:56small incidents at his workplace that

00:54:59would make his colleagues question

00:55:00his professionalism Garrett also

00:55:03planted false evidence linking

00:55:04Damien to illegal activities Garrett

00:55:07wanted to completely ruin Damien's

00:55:09career and reputation meanwhile

00:55:11Garrett continued his illegal medical

00:55:13experiments conducting them in a

00:55:15hidden lab these operations

00:55:17brought him huge profits but pose

00:55:20deadly risk to his patients he

00:55:23created fake documents and falsified

00:55:25medical reports to cover his tracks

00:55:26no one his colleagues family or

00:55:29friends suspected that Garrett was

00:55:31leading a double life Garrett was

00:55:34confident that as long as he kept

00:55:35everything under control no one would

00:55:37ever find out what he was really

00:55:39doing Hannah realized that Garrett had

00:55:41crossed the line from manipulation and

00:55:43power games into something far more

00:55:46dangerous she decided to end their

00:55:48relationship but she knew that simply

00:55:50walking away wouldn't be enough Hannah

00:55:52knew too much about his illegal activities

00:55:54and Garrett wouldn't allow her to simply

00:55:56disappear from his life so she took a

00:55:58risky step anonymously leaking

00:56:00information about his illegal

00:56:02experiments to the hospital where he

00:56:04worked she sent several letters

00:56:06detailing the violations hoping they

00:56:08would trigger an investigation and stop

00:56:10him but Garrett was smarter than she

00:56:12anticipated he quickly discovered that

00:56:14information was leaking and using his

00:56:16connections figured out that Hannah was

00:56:18behind it instead of backing down

00:56:20Garrett went on the offensive he started

00:56:23threatening Hannah with physical violence

00:56:24if she didn't stop interfering in his

00:56:26affairs he knew his reputation was at

00:56:28stake and was willing to go to any

00:56:30lengths to protect it at the same time

00:56:33Garrett intensified his efforts to frame

00:56:35Damien he fabricated several pieces of

00:56:38evidence linking Damien to his illegal

00:56:40operations planting them in Damien's home

00:56:43to make it look like he was involved in the

00:56:44crimes one night when Damien returned

00:56:47home after a long day at work he found

00:56:50something strange in his office on his

00:56:52desk lay documents related to Garrett's

00:56:54illegal experiments the very documents

00:56:57mentioned in the anonymous complaints

00:56:59realizing he was being framed Damien

00:57:01immediately knew Garrett was behind it

00:57:03he was both furious and terrified

00:57:06Damien understood that if these

00:57:07documents fell into the hands of the

00:57:09authorities his life would be ruined and

00:57:11he couldn't let that happen Damien

00:57:14decided it was time to end Garrett's game

00:57:16he called Hannah and asked her to come

00:57:18over urgently as soon as Hannah arrived at

00:57:21the house Garrett appeared at the door as

00:57:22well he sensed the situation was heating

00:57:25up and was determined to see his plan

00:57:27through to the end a heated argument

00:57:29broke out quickly escalating into a

00:57:32violent confrontation Garrett attacked

00:57:34Damien throwing punches and kicks in

00:57:37this fight Garrett was clearly stronger and

00:57:39faster but Damien driven by desperation

00:57:43fought for his life during the struggle

00:57:46Damien grabbed a knife from the kitchen

00:57:48counter trying to defend himself against

00:57:50Garrett in the chaos of the fight

00:57:53Hannah hearing the commotion rushed in to

00:57:56try to break up the fight but before she

00:57:58could intervene Brooke walked into the

00:58:00house at the moment she tried to pull

00:58:02Garrett away he accidentally stabbed her

00:58:05with the knife still in his hand it all

00:58:07happened so quickly that none of them had

00:58:09time to realize what had occurred Brooke

00:58:11fell to the floor bleeding in a panic

00:58:13Garrett realized he had just killed his own

00:58:15wife Garrett fully aware that what had

00:58:18happened couldn't simply be ignored

00:58:20began convincing Hannah and Damien that if

00:58:23the truth came out they would all be at the

00:58:25center of a major investigation he painted a

00:58:27grim picture the police would uncover their

00:58:30involvement in a complex web of illegal

00:58:33affairs and manipulations and none of them

00:58:35would escape prison covering up the evidence

00:58:38seemed like the only way out if they wanted to

00:58:40protect their freedom Hannah torn between fear

00:58:43and a sense of justice couldn't make an

00:58:46immediate decision she hated Garrett for

00:58:48what he had done to Brooke and how he had

00:58:50turned their lives into a nightmare but she

00:58:53feared for her own safety and that of her

00:58:55children Damien on the other hand was

00:58:58terrified his thoughts raced between wanting

00:59:01to escape the situation and realizing that

00:59:03Garrett was too dangerous to trust but at that

00:59:06moment both of them reluctantly agreed to

00:59:08help Garrett cover up the evidence the first

00:59:11thing Garrett suggested was to dispose of

00:59:13Brooke's body that night they decided to move

00:59:16her body into Garrett's car trunk and drive

00:59:18out to a remote forest on the outskirts of

00:59:20town Garrett knowing the area well chose a

00:59:24secluded spot where according to him no one

00:59:27would ever find it they worked quickly and in

00:59:30silence fear paralyzing all three of them they

00:59:33knew that any delay could attract unwanted

00:59:35attention however panic led to mistakes on the

00:59:39way to the forest Garrett took a wrong turn and

00:59:42on one of the isolated roads a passerby spotted

00:59:45them someone who would later become a key

00:59:47witness on that same road Garrett's car got

00:59:50stuck in the mud severely delaying them and

00:59:53leaving tire tracks that the police would later

00:59:55use to track them down they were forced to call a

00:59:57local farmer with a tractor for help further

01:00:00complicating the situation the man unaware of the

01:00:03crime helped pull the car free but later provided

01:00:06the police with important details when they

01:00:09finally reached the spot where they intended to

01:00:11bury the body Garrett ordered Damien to help him

01:00:13dig Hannah stood off to the side unable to hide

01:00:17her horror this night felt like a never-ending

01:00:19nightmare she realized that she was now an

01:00:22accomplice and couldn't just walk away but deep

01:00:25down she had already begun forming a plan to

01:00:28escape this situation after they buried the body

01:00:31Garrett and Damien returned home trying to erase any

01:00:35trace of the crime meanwhile Hannah started

01:00:38secretly collecting evidence against Garrett

01:00:40she began recording his threats and manipulations

01:00:43on a phone hidden in her bedroom and took photographs

01:00:45of any remaining clues in the house her goal was

01:00:48clear when the time was right she would turn

01:00:51everything over to the police and be rid of

01:00:53Garrett once and for all but Hannah knew she had to

01:00:57proceed cautiously if Garrett found out about her

01:00:59intentions he would stop at nothing to destroy her

01:01:02as Hannah secretly gathered evidence Damien was

01:01:05formulating a plan of his own he suggested to

01:01:08Hannah that they join forces and frame Garrett

01:01:11shifting the entire blame for what had happened on

01:01:14to him if they could convince the police that

01:01:17Garrett had acted alone they had a chance to avoid

01:01:20punishment they knew Garrett had fallen into his own

01:01:23trap his illegal medical experiments blackmail and

01:01:26Brooks murder all of these could serve as key elements

01:01:30to finally bring him down however Garrett wasn't as

01:01:34naive as Hannah and Damien had imagined he sensed that

01:01:37their behavior was starting to change and realized that

01:01:41his double game was nearing its end feeling his control

01:01:44slipping he began plotting to kill both Hannah and Damien

01:01:48he understood that the only way to fully eliminate the threat

01:01:51was to take them both out Garrett grew increasingly paranoid and

01:01:55violent he started stalking Hannah and Damien showing up

01:01:59unexpectedly at their homes and workplaces his behavior

01:02:02became more aggressive he even installed hidden cameras in

01:02:06Hannah's house to monitor her and threatened that if she

01:02:09didn't stop trying to betray him her children would be next

01:02:13Garrett knew he had little time left before the situation

01:02:16spiraled out of control completely he needed to act quickly and

01:02:19decisively to eliminate anyone who could threaten his life and

01:02:22freedom Garrett knew the situation was slipping from his

01:02:25grasp his plan to eliminate Hannah and Damien was his last

01:02:29desperate attempt to maintain power over them and prevent his

01:02:32inevitable downfall he arranged a meeting at an old

01:02:35country house where they used to spend evenings together

01:02:38inviting Hannah and Damien under the pretense of clearing the air

01:02:42and discussing how to part ways peacefully without involving the

01:02:46police the house now half ruined and sitting on the edge of a forest

01:02:50far from prying eyes seemed like the perfect place for a final confrontation

01:02:56Garrett sent them charming messages urging them to restore justice and

01:03:00proposing a meeting on the evening of August 12th

01:03:04it was a stiflingly hot day with an atmosphere heavy with tension

01:03:09despite their fears Damien and Hannah decided to meet with Garrett

01:03:12they were confident that they could manipulate him and use the evidence

01:03:15they'd gathered to finally expose him when they arrived at the meeting place

01:03:20the country house looked even more abandoned than before

01:03:23inside there was a dim light the windows were boarded up and it seemed as

01:03:27though no one had been there for years

01:03:30Garrett waited for them inside dimly lit by a single lamp as soon as they

01:03:35walked in the tension became palpable Garrett clearly having lost all sense of

01:03:40reality began rambling about cleansing his conscience and tried to explain that

01:03:46everything that had happened was the result of complicated circumstances

01:03:50that he simply wanted to set things right but his gaze and aggressive body

01:03:54language revealed his true intentions the conversation quickly turned to

01:03:58accusations Damien mustering his courage directly told Garrett that he and

01:04:03Hannah had evidence against him and that they were ready to turn it over to the

01:04:07police if he didn't confess Garrett enraged lunged at Damien trying to pull a knife from his jacket

01:04:13pocket a brutal struggle ensued Damien struggled to fend off the blows and it became clear that

01:04:19Garrett was stronger and more aggressive Hannah in a desperate situation ran towards the window where

01:04:25she had hidden her phone containing the recorded evidence in the last moment she managed to grab

01:04:30it and dial 911 the police already growing suspicious of Garrett took the call seriously

01:04:36and immediately headed to the scene the fight was still raging when the sound of sirens pierced

01:04:41the air outside the house the police burst in just as Garrett made another attempt to attack Damien

01:04:47unaware that he was surrounded Garrett losing all control of the situation tried to escape through

01:04:52the back exit but was quickly subdued and arrested Hannah and Damien were left in a state of shock

01:04:59it was only the swift intervention of the police and the evidence Hannah had gathered and handed over to

01:05:04the detectives that saved them Garrett even in his final moments of freedom refused to admit guilt

01:05:11insisting on complicated circumstances but the overwhelming evidence was stacked against him

01:05:18Garrett's trial became a media sensation in the local press in court Hannah and Damien were the key

01:05:24witnesses presenting all the collected evidence recordings of Garrett's threats his confessions regarding the

01:05:32illegal experiments and manipulations as well as evidence linked to Brooks murder as expected Garrett

01:05:39tried to shift the blame to everyone around him even claiming to be a victim of circumstances but his
