Chapter 9 Summary

Claire puts the USB for Adam in her mailbox. As Lydia pores over the color-coded files of women, Claire succumbs to sleep. Lydia finds that Paul’s files correspond to the anniversaries of the women’s rapes and notes that all the women look like Claire. In the second box is the collection of papers and evidence Sam Carroll obsessively collected before his suicide. The sisters find a deed for a property in nearby Watkinsville that turns out to be Paul’s childhood home. Claire calls the phone number on the deed and reaches a voicemail message with Paul’s voice and someone named Lexie Fuller. Fred Nolan calls Claire’s burner phone to request she and her lawyer meet him for questioning.

The sisters decide to confront Lexie, if only to warn her about Paul, and start driving to the Fuller house. Claire confronts her dismissal of Lydia’s assault and apologizes for not believing her at the time. The heartfelt conversation is cut short, however, when Claire finds that Paul created a search alert for Anna Kilpatrick. She pulls up a live news report confirming that Anna’s remains were found. Eleanor Kilpatrick, Anna’s mother, interrupts Mayhew’s report with outrage about how Anna was mutilated and branded before her death.
