By 12:46 p.m., Mia had opened the security app from the hospital bed.
Her hands shook so badly the nurse had to steady the phone.
The first clip showed Evan carrying the crib panel out.
The second showed Patricia with the blanket.
The third showed Mia stepping toward the porch stairs.
The fourth showed the shove.
No speech could explain it away.
Patricia’s arm extended.
Mia’s body went sideways.
Evan turned.
Then he did nothing.
The officer watched without speaking.
When the clip ended, he asked Mia to send it to the case email and preserve the original file.
He used words that made the morning feel suddenly official.
Incident report.
Evidence upload.
Witness statement.
Medical documentation.
Mia emailed the clip from her hospital bed.
Then she forwarded the texts.
Then she sent the bank screenshots too, not because they were part of the fall, but because she had finally stopped protecting the pattern.
Evan called fourteen times.
