So she began preserving what she was legally allowed to preserve as part of her job.
Access logs.
Document versions.
Internal approval chains.
She did not hack anyone.
Did not break passwords.
She simply kept copies of company records that appeared altered.
And because she knew my habits better than any forensic analyst, she noticed things technology missed.
The forged signatures were good.
The language wasn't.
One transfer authorization said:
“Pursuant to strategic family continuity.”
Ana laughed when she showed it to me.
“You've never said ‘strategic family continuity’ in your life.”
Correct.
I said things like:

Or:
Who approved this mess?
Fraudsters often imitate signatures better than voices.
Ana preserved the drafts.

Author initials:
K.S.
Kristen Sutter.
Another:
T.S.
Trevor.
Then Ana pulled out a printed email.
My son to Kristen.
Mom thinks the River Oaks place is hers because of the LLC technicality.
