Chapter 16 - KELSEY’S VERSION OF ETHANKelsey turned on Ethan faster than he expected.
Not immediately.
After prosecutors offered no promise of immunity and the business began seeking repayment, her interests separated from his.
She told investigators:
“I thought Ethan wanted Claire intimidated.”
Did he say that?
“No.”
What exactly did he say?
“That she needed to see she couldn’t control everything.”
Did he tell you to bring a weapon?
“No.”
Did he tell you to strike her?
“No.”
Did he know you would?
“No.”
Then why say he wanted intimidation?
“Because he liked when I stood up to her.”
Subjective.
But consistent with messages.
One text from Ethan:
She only backs down when someone pushes back harder.
Kelsey:
I can do that.
Again:
May you like
No plan to assault.
An emotional environment in which escalation felt rewarded.
