Chapter 4 - THE OTHER CLAIRE
The woman in the recording was Claire’s identical twin, Evelyn.
Separated at birth through the same fertility network.
Claire had grown up next door to me.
Evelyn had been recruited by Margaret Collins as a surrogate coordinator.
She used Claire’s identity to access the neighborhood without suspicion.
The real Claire knew nothing.
That explained why Daniel sometimes accused her of visiting when she had not.
Evelyn carried Lily from the basement to a private pediatric home.
She later tried to expose Margaret.
Then disappeared.
Claire learned her twin existed only after police showed her the footage.
The women had been used as interchangeable witnesses.
One kind neighbor.
One hidden accomplice.
The system relied on confusion.
Then Evelyn contacted Claire’s phone.
She said Lily was alive.
She offered the location in exchange for immunity.
Denied.
She gave the address anyway.
A coastal house two hours away.
When police entered, they found Lily’s crib empty.
A note remained.
