Chapter 10 - The Federal Indictment
An hour later, I sat in a high-security office.
Special Agent Harris of the FBI sat across desk.
Beside him sat Senior Prosecutor Thomas from District Attorney.
I set my laptop and physical document folders down.
I presented the complete forensic digital audit trail file.
I showed the photos of my scalded face skin.
I played the lobby audio recording of their confessions.
I displayed the IP address logs connecting "Mom's iPad".
I presented the forged notary seals on grandmother's trust.
Special Agent Harris reviewed the papers with sharp eyes.
His face hardened into dark, lethal, righteous anger.
"Ms. Morgan, this is one of the clearest cases."
"Wire fraud, grand larceny, identity theft, and assault."
"The total fraudulent amount exceeds one point two million."
Prosecutor Thomas nodded his head in full agreement today.
"The grand jury will issue arrest warrants within hours."
"This is a federal felony indictment case now."
"Will your family try to flee the state, Claire?"
"They have zero funds left on their cards, Agent."
"Their bank accounts are frozen as of one hour."
"They have nowhere to run and no money left."
Special Agent Harris stood up, extending his right hand.
"Thank you for your courage today, Ms. Morgan."
"Many victims of family fraud suffer in silent shame."
"You did the right thing bringing this to light."
I shook his hand firmly, keeping my posture straight.
"Family or not, crime is crime, Agent Harris."
"They made their choice when they burned my face."
The federal investigators gathered the files into briefcases.
They mobilized tactical units to execute the arrest warrants.
The net was snapping shut on the Morgan household.
