I didn't say anything for a moment. How long was this operating? We believe the first disposal events at the primary site occurred approximately 11 years ago. Evan Caldwell began his independent investigation about 9 years ago. He was documenting what had already been ongoing for 2 years.
And nobody knew. Several people knew. The right people didn't. She picked up her coffee again. That's what Daniel was trying to change.
Clare called me at 11:07. 40 Minutes after I left the attorney general's office. Margaret just called me. They made arrests this morning. I know.
I just came from a meeting with the investigator. Two arrests. A pause. Caleb. One of them.
Margaret told me one of them is a name I know, not personally, but from the community. He's been in this county for 30 years. His family has property here. His name is on a building at the high school, I heard. I keep thinking, how many times did Daniel see his name somewhere?
How many times did he drive past that building knowing what he knew and just keep driving? Her voice was level, but I could hear what was underneath it. How did he carry that? He wrote it down in a notebook. I said he put it in a box.
He put it in the ground. That's how he carried it. He made it concrete and he documented it and he built something with it so it wasn't just weight anymore. It was evidence. She was quiet for a moment.
I need to go back to the house. She said. Torres said the property is released as of this morning. They've finished what they need from the garage for now. I need to go home, Caleb.
I need to be in my own chin. When? This afternoon. Will you come? Yeah, I said.
I'll come. We met at Alderton Road at 2:00 in the afternoon. The street was quiet again. No federal vehicles, no hazmat van, no sheriff's cars blocking either end. Just the ordinary stillness of a Wednesday afternoon in a residential neighborhood in October.
