He grabbed several bottles.
One contained digoxin.
“I thought it was Dad’s.”
“Whose was it?”

Ryan became the perfect physical link.
His fingerprints.
His presence.
His silence.

Thomas had recorded a voicemail at 9:43 p.m.
His estimated collapse occurred around ten.
In the voicemail, he said:
Mark is here.
Mark denied it.
His alibi vanished completely.
