First, additional documentation. I contacted Ring customer support and requested a verification letter confirming my account had continuous cloud backup from February through March 2024. They sent a PDF within twenty-four hours, timestamped and authenticated with my account details.
If anyone tried to claim the footage was edited, I had the company’s records to prove otherwise.
Second, redundancy. Rachel purchased two small cameras, the same model I already had, and installed them inside my house on March fifth. One in the basement. One in the hallway outside my bedroom.
If Kyle and Brittany were going to take over my home, I wanted every angle.
Third, the social stage.
I called Aunt Linda and kept my voice light.
“I’m looking forward to Mom’s party,” I said. “I’ve been thinking about what to say. I want it to be meaningful.”
“That’s so sweet, Myra,” Aunt Linda said. “Your mother will love that. She’s always saying you don’t express yourself enough.”
